OneFest is excited to announce the first ever OneVoice Competition and Youth Band Showcase opportunities at OneFest 2024.  Applications are being accepted through June 1st at the links below.  

OneFest announces the OneVoice Competition, where young Christian singers can showcase their talents. Participants are to submit a video performing one song, with no professional quality required, just clear audio.  Open to two age groups—12 and under, and 13-18—the Finalists will perform at OneFest 

OneFest introduces the Youth Band Showcase, inviting bands with majority members under 18 to perform at the festival. Bands, from soloists to eight members, must submit a video of a song performance. Selected bands will play on the Little More Stage, judged on creativity and presence, and receive festival tickets, t-shirts, and swag bags.

Bad things that can happen when we wait:

W - worry

A - anger (which worry often times gives way to)

I - (you feel) insulted (how dare you make me wait?!)

T - tempted (to do or say things we'll regret, or worse, lose hope)

The same acronym gives us some things we can do instead:

W - Worship.

A - Appreciate everything God's done

I - intercede (pray) for others

T - trust

4 practical, positive things we can do as we wait on God.

I'm guilty of saying "Good Job" to everything they do well. But we can encourage our kids even more by calling out specific character traits and things we see in them. This article shows some more creative ways to say it! ~ Emily
