Hey Jet......Is this group part of what use to be the"Crystal Cathedral church" or did they just make an appearance for the Hour of Power TV show?

Anyway, I found it interesting that they have a performance from the Voices of Hope from the Hour of Power posted on their web-site. I think the group of Children they have now is wonderful...hehehe....
Hey, Sleuth Luv!! Interesting question! My SIL was here last nite and we all watched the tape of the AGT performance from Tuesday nite. I have asked my SIL a couple times if Voices of Hope is a church choir. She said that it is related to a church in Orange County (although they don't attend that church). I was not aware of their performance on the Hour of Power but I will try to remember to ask her about that when I see her later today. Pretty sure that the Crystal Cathedral is actually a Catholic church facility now; you are right that the property was purchased by the church on some level (diocese maybe?). Will do some sleuthing of my own and get back to you!!! LOL
The li'l nieces got acquainted with the choir when it provided the children's musical parts in a local production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat" a couple of years ago. The older niece had a short solo in that musical and was a "kid shepherd" or something along those lines....as part of the ensemble. They have all kept in touch since that time so I'm sure there was a blanket email to former performers initially to see how many they could muster for AGT.
I absolutely love him, and he’s an incredible person. We have this friendship that I have no doubt in my mind is a life-long friendship. Getting a chance to know him away from training for Dancing With the Stars, I think we've gotten a chance to know each other in a different way, which of course just makes you closer. Meryl
We fell in love, but our way. Maks

LOL...can't take credit for any "Sleuthing" LOL... All I did was put in their name and their web-site popped up and it had a video of them on the Hour of Power show. LOL I used to watch that, so know a bit of what went down with the Church.
How cool to have "found" the choir through a performance of "Joseph". (I bet your niece was a hit...hehe) Anyway, it sounds like a great organization to be associated with and I am glad that both of your nieces can be apart of it....and on such a big stage....LOL
Friendship is a priceless gift that can't be bought or sold, its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.

Good morning! Up early (but not any earlier than normal!!) to finish the annual quilt run today. We are headed to the desert stores....4 of us today.at 7a.m.
Yesterday afternoon my SIL and I went to LAX to pick up their brother and SIL from TN. They are here for a niece's wedding tomorrow. So after supper we watched the Golden Buzzer performance of Voices of Hope....and got the skinny on the choir!
You were pretty close, Luv! The remnants of the Crystal Cathedral's congregation is still under the pastorship of Robert Schuller's son (not sure his first name) and is the Irvine Presbyterian Church so they perform during the Hour of Power now and then. The children's choir is funded by a philanthropist. As a result of the Golden Buzzer performance, they have already had several offers to perform! The kids and families all gathered at the church Tuesday nite for a potluck dinner and to watch the show. We are now in possession of a baggie full of gold confetti!! The nieces collected a rather large bag of it when they taped the show a few months ago!!! LOL
Hope everyone will vote for Voices of Hope when they perform live on August 22!!!!!!!

My niece (mom of the girls) said the choir has received quite a lot of negative SM commentary! I don't understand people who cannot appreciate the effort and joy of watching children perform for the sake of loving what they do.

As with most things, it is the experience that is remembered and which adds to one's perspecdtive in life....not the win or the loss. These kids will remember this experience for the rest of their lives! It will be one of joy as they remember the friendships they made, the fun they had, and the lessons they learned as a results.

Good MORNING Jet. My, you are up early. LOL A full day of exploring Quilt shops and being with friends would make a person want to get the day started. LOL !!!
That is wonderful that Robert (his son's name too) still has a church and following. I was very surprised to hear that the Hour of Power, still was in production. VERY INTERESTING. So, is the Voices of Choir part of the Irvine Presbyterian Church? Yet, it sounds like it stands on its own too, letting anyone audition, *even if they don't attend that Church". I can see why she said that the money *if they win" would go back into the program.
I am happy to hear that because of the exposer, the Voices of Hope are getting "bookings". I have read a few of the comments from their You-tube video. Yes, some were nasty, but that is always the case, isn't it? People just can't be nice. LOL Most were like, "they shouldn't have got the Golden Buzzer", which I think steams from this year, so far, most of the acts going to the live show are "singing" acts, and "they" want variety. Also, because (I think) they are children and the act that wins..."should be an act you can see in Las Vegas". Anyway, there were also a lot of GOOD comments. One lady on there was defending the group. She also has a niece in it. A little girl with only one arm.
Oh....How COOL....the Golden confetti !!!! That is neat !!!! and a good keep sake. If I were them, I would have saved it too. LOL !!! The pieces look pretty big on TV, so I am guessing, that they are kind of pretty large. Humm.....too bad it isn't "material", you could have made a quilt out of it. LOL !!!!!
Have a great day at the quilt shops.

Vote for Voices of Hope when they perform live on August 22!

Re: AGT chat and support thread
Did a bit more sleuthing...LOL Bobby Schuller, the Grandson of Robert Schuller (son of "younger" Robert) is the head guy of the Hour of Power. I remember him when he was just a young kid. I think this was a wise choice for the show. Very interesting facts you gave me Jet...it has me on the computer and "searching". LOL

Re: AGT chat and support thread
Morning all...
Hope you are doing well. Glad to see there are some of the sisters posting here. I wasn't home on Tuesday night. Went to see my son and his family since they got home from their trip to Florida. Hopefully I can join in next Tuesday if you doin't mind!!! LOL
I just posted some things on the other thread for general news.
Ah, it is. It's the first day of autumn! A time for hot chocolatety mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, as best of all, leaping into *leaves*!
