Glenn Flint, a good friend and my former worship pastor, is doing a patriotic concert this Friday night in Angola at the Buck Lake Ranch, which I understand is a pretty famous place. Pam and I are taking my parents, who love patriotic music and love Glenn. When they were pastoring in Lakeville, Ind., Glenn and Jean came up twice to do concerts.

In 1999 and 2000, Glenn was worship pastor at Anchor. We always had a lot of fun at practice on Thursday nights. Before that, I sometimes played keyboard at Emmanuel Community Church when Glenn was the music minister there (1990-1999, or something like that). He’s also a gifted children’s worker, able to just let loose and be crazy around kids. Now he’s the Minister of Music at Fellowship Missionary Church in Angola.

Glenn has a powerful, powerful voice, with a range as wide as whatever cliche you can think of, like the Grand Canyon. I’m really looking forward to hearing Glenn. If you’re interested: 7 pm Friday, June 27, at Buck Lake Ranch in Angola, Ind.

Glenn says of the concert: “I’m looking forward to a flag waving evening emphasizing God, Country, Patriotism and encouragement of our troops.”
