• Community Fun Festival 2010

  Date: 2010.03.17 | Category: Church, Glory Academy | Response: 1

  

  Every year Rock Church hosts a Community Fun Festival with amazing Free Rides, local bands and dancers on the entertainments stage, some killer food and so much fun it should be illegal! This year was our best year yet and I just want to say thank you to the 100+ volunteers from Rock Church and GAFA for making the day run so smoothly! There were over 2000 people there and we raised $5000 for the non profit, free tuition fine arts school, Glory Academy of Fine Arts. If you would like to find out more about becoming a sponsor of GAFA, check us out online or shoot me an email at abbye@rockwilmington.com. Here are a few other pictures of this amazing day!

  

  

  

  

  

• How Did This Happen?

  Date: 2009.04.30 | Category: Uncategorized, random thoughts | Response: 3

  I just realized how long it’s been since I’ve posted anything new or even perused all the amazing blogs that I had frequented for so long – how did that happen? I know I probably don’t have anyone still stopping by here anymore and so I’m wondering why I’m even writing this right now. <sigh> A blog is such a huge commitment – and I’ve just not wanted to be sucked in very much lately….

  But – SO much has been going on and I just need to dump – so here goes!

  • Reagan is almost 4! I can’t believe it – he’s so handsome and perfect and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing little man. 
  • Rylee is 10 months old already. She is such a sweet baby and I am having so much fun with her! A couple of weeks ago, she was dedicated at our church and my mom made her amazing dress. She took apart her wedding dress to make Rylee the most beautiful dedication dress I’ve ever seen!
  • GAFA has been busy busy busy! Our Spring production, “Psalms” is coming up in just a couple of weeks. You don’t want to miss this – get your tickets from any GAFA student, staff or from the office!

• So Proud

  I can not adequately express how proud I am of my incredible staff and students at GloryFineArts. They work tirelessy to hone their skills so that we can offer the Lord something excellent. We know that this is not about us – not about others seeing us and how “great” we are. This is about using the gifts God has given us to spread His love and fame across this nation and the world.

  We have some amazing families who are a part of this academy – I am so honored to work with some wonderful moms and dads and so humbled that they would allow us to have a part in the lives of their children.

  Saturday night at Dance Revolution, Mrs. Casey and our Company 2 and 3 girls participated in their annual showcase and they did an awesome job. Here are few pictures from the evening.

  Wow – I didn’t realize how long it had been since I posted anything. Shame on me….

  We are in Durham, NC with some of our dancers from Glory Fine Arts at the Dance Revolution Conference. This is an amazing event for our students – they leave exhausted, but they work so hard and are encouraged and ministered to by some incredibly talented and anointed dancers. It’s a crazy weekend, but so worth it. Here are a few pictures from last night and this morning…
