CODE West

CODE West went really well. Attendence was down this year, but drama teams from as far away as Las Vegas came and performed. The new DVD is available with 8 drama pieces. A good mix of sign, song interpretation and this year something...Clowning with Terry Vik. The team from Vegas did Tye Tribetts, "Stand Out" and the local team did "Right Place, Right Time", by Kurt Carr. I blocked out a song interpretation to the song, "One More Round", by Barlow Girl. I think your young ladies are going to love acting out this song. Its fun and has a message to it.

We originally were asked to help with the song for a young ladies conference called, Esther in Pensacola, Fl. Anyway, it evolved into what we did with it at CODE West.

Gaylen Cantrell performed the moving monologue called Just One Touch. This is a monologue about a leper who recounts what it was like to not be touched by his family and wife. WHat it was like to walk into a market place and yell out, "Unclean". The monologue segues into the healing section of the monologue and then the sign team called, Signs and Wonders stepped in behind the monologue with the song, "Something Happens". Wow, what a great sequence to bring people to an altar experience. Ypu're going to want to put these two pieces together.

If you're needing help to organize your drama ministry to the point where you can use it throughout the whole year...let us know. We can help to make that happen. Email me at howitiller@aol.com. We are helping churches all over the US and Canada every week to move into an anointed drama ministry.

Well...it's been a while. But a lot has happened since we last talked. We recently taught a music/drama conference in Columbia, MS. I just finished a drama weekend in Sacramento, CA (Shingle Springs) and now preparing for CODE West here in the valley. Hanford, CA has played host to CODE West for 7 years in a row. It proves to be another wonderful CODE with drama teams coming in from as far away as Las Vegas. Thursday evening will feature a mix of monologues, interpretive sign and song interpretations. The CODE West 2009 DVD will be available just as soon as possible.

Next year will be our 10th anniversary here in CA and we will plan a very special week. Maybe even a master CODE...we'll see.
