Tuesdays at the parsonage [right next to the church] high schoolers and some middle schoolers get together in the Garage to play music. We bring amps and turn them all the way to 11! We'll play some praise and worship music, some original stuff that the youth have written, and even write some songs together.
     Then each fall we record a CD of these songs to send out to our college kids in care packages. Since we don't have a weekly performance to "practice" for we can really be relaxed in our playing and have a lot of fun while learning new songs for worship and for other venues.
     Check out "A Charge to Keep" on emerge.fumcbirmingham.org/wesley_project.htm for an example of the kind of music that gets created at Garage Band.
