Additional Strings

The last stop on the RESTORE tour is Prague. 

We have a musical surprise arranged for that last CD/DVD recording. Although it is a secret, we wanted to give you a little peek into what might happen. The photo below is of Klara, our violinist, and her father, who plays a stringed instrument too! The Czech Republic is full of amazing musicians and has a deep and thrilling musical history. We are honoured to be a tiny part of that legacy.

Come join us if you are in Prague. Right after the lunch time concert, we'll pack up the van and drive up the hill to Prague Castle. Mark, Giorgio, Mike, and Klara will perform an acoustic gig just outside the entrance to the castle. Can't wait!

Counting Down

10 days from today Mark, Carrie, & Jessica board a direct flight from Denver to London. They arrive at noon on Monday, May 17th, three days ahead of the rest of the team. Picking up the rental vans, sound equipment, a spare guitar stashed in south London, and the lighting rig are part of their 'to do' list. Pray for all three of them as things are getting a little frantic now. The calendar is filled, down to 15 minute increments, maps are printed, tickets purchased, songs charted, etc. But there is still so much to do and time seems to be moving way to fast. It will be a miracle if everything gets done. That's why we need you to pray!

More on Prague

Here is one of the back rooms in Prague's St. Nicholas Church. The locals call it St. Mikulas. This is the place where Trevor, the RESTORE project's recording engineer will be stationed.

Check out the magnificent crystal glass chandelier. It was handcrafted in northern Bohemia at the Harrachov glassworks. The photo doesn't do justice to the silver and crystal cross that hangs down from the middle of it. In 1871 the Russian Orthodox community of worshipers rented the building and blessed the building with this beautiful addition.

High Places

We just got word that will play an open air concert in Prague. We love to praise in the high places! Located on the front door steps of Prague Castle, the Worshiplanet band will set up.  Carrie & Manu will have the time off since there is no electricity. It's a completely acoustic gig.  And right under the statue of Czech's first president!

A big thanks to Klara, the bands violinist and long time friend of the Tedders, for getting the permit. 

If you are in Prague, come join us. We'll be there on Wednesday, May 26th from 3:00pm - 5:00pm.

Practice, practice, practice.

Last night three members of the RESTORE tour - Mark, Carrie, & Mike got in their first live practice with a full band. While our tour bass player, vocalist, violinist, and poet were missing, local friends stepped forward to fill in the gap. Don McCaleb, a bassist from Colorado Springs, and Kristin Wood a local worship leader, made our sound complete. On May 14th, this same Colorado based band will host a home concert which will include the new pieces of spoken worship and all of Mark's original songs. Thanks for keeping this concert in your prayers - we need them both. Prayers and lots of practice!

Going Back Home

The last concert of the RESTORE tour is in Prague. One of our favorite places on earth! We want to invite you all to the lunch time recording and filming.  The Cathedral in Old Town Square is spectacular and has a rich history of faith.  Can you believe that we get to be a part of that? Wow.
