CSB Visit to Ottawa, IL - February 19-20,2011
The Chicago Staff Band traveled just 85 miles to Ottawa, IL on Saturday, February 19, 2011 for a Saturday evening concert and Sunday morning worship. With a population of just over 18,000 people it is a city of two rivers because it is where the Fox River and Illinois River meet.
The Salvation Army in Ottawa is led by Captains Quentin and Mary Boyle who had made arrangements for the events of the weekend to be hosted by the 1st Presbyterian Church in Ottawa that is pastored by John Walker.
Following the relatively short bus ride we quickly adapted to the tight space available in the sanctuary and had a quick sound check. Following the sound check dinner was hosted by the Church prior to the start of the concert. A good sized crowd gathered in the sanctuary for the 7:00 pm concert.
Following the concert some of us were hosted by members of the Church and others were housed at a hotel. We are looking forward to worship this morning where our own Executive Officer, Lt. Colonel Richard Vander Weele, will bring the message of the morning from Psalm 23, continuing the theme already started by Pastor Walker at the church.
Special thanks go out to Pastor Walker and the people of the 1st Presbyterian Church, Captains Boyle and the Ottawa Salvation Army, Major James Frye (Heartland Division Music Coordinator) and Major Evie Diaz (Heartland Divisional Commander) for their support of this weekend.
