Severn MD, Heritage Christian Concerts, May 24, 2008
Well, we are sad to announce we had to cancel our first gig in 2 1/2 years. Two
hours into our trip to Maryland, our truck broke down, right outside of Frederick
MD. After about an hour of unsuccessful attempts to get a ride to the church
OR a tow, God sent us Jeff--the 'tow-dude' from McKinney's. We were SO
happy to see Jeff!!! It ended up being a very fun day considering what
happening. We got our truck hooked up, but had to stop and pick up another
tow on the way!! However, we were just thankful to get off the side of the
road and get a ride home!! So, praise God for sending us Jeff--who hooked us
up (literally) with a deal!! Needless to say, we are SO sorry we had to
cancel...but plan to reschedule with the church at a later date!!!
