We traveled to Peoria, IL (along with every junior high and high school youth group in a 150-mile radius) on Sunday, March 29 for a special BIRTHDAY date night!
WinterJam is great, but here is what you need to know if you plan to attend a WinterJam. Unless you become a member of JamNation, get to the event early. Especially if you have a large group to seat. We jumped in line about 4:30. The doors opened at 5. We got in the building about an hour later, and felt very fortunate to find two seats together.
NewSong opened the night of worship and prayer.
This is my favorite song from NewSong. God IS faithful:

| For King & Country. This group is very entertaining! And LOVE their music. You may not recognize the name of the group, but if you listen to Christian radio you will recognize their music. Follow these links to hear some of their music: |
This is one of my favorites, perhaps because it begins with my very favorite psalm:

| Jeremy Camp |
Check out Jeremy's music here:
Francesca Battistelli was there with her sweet voice.
Family Force 5 got the crowd dancing. Not our style of music, but it was entertaining to watch FF5 enthusiasts dance in the crowd!
I didn't get a photo of Building 429, but they were one of my favorite groups there. You might recognize some of their songs. Great message in their songs!
Closing the night of worship was Skillet. The more I listen to them, the more I see them in concert, the more I love them and their music! Even our girls will hear Skillet on the radio and say, "Mom! It's Skillet!"
Check out their music here:
Special thanks to Grandma Kathy who kept our short people overnight so we could enjoy the evening together.
Seriously, a great night. Great music. A great date!
Our family likes Skillet too! And most of everyone that was at WinterJam. We didn't go this year, but I heard it was packed.
