Well everyone, it’s finally here. As I write this it’s about 1:50 AM and I’ve just finished getting the Round One Update Video posted. If you missed the worship rally, you really missed something awesome. The music was awesome and the spirit of God fell in a really powerful way on the service. There were young people dancing in the altar and worshiping God with passion and sincerity that made a very big impact on me. I’m too exhausted to write more right now, but check back tomorrow after I’ve had a chance to sleep! Check out the video update and check back here often over the next couple of days and weeks as we get more videos, pictures an audio posted!

Thursday and Friday recap
Saturday, February 28th, 200910 Days…
Sunday, February 15th, 2009Well folks, it’s been 10 whole days since we last spoke to each other and a lot has happened. Our musicians got together for their first practice and I gotta say - it’s sounding awesome. Really awesome. Seriously, you don’t even know. We also went shopping for food and spent a LOT of time working on a really special surprise. Our DJ has, I’m sure been cracking his knuckles and doing whatever kind of finger stretching and warm-ups that DJs do…I think it probably has something to do with playing paper football.
Check the website for some new videos and pictures coming this week. 11 DAYS!!! ARE YOU READY?!?!

We have been asked by several teams if we will have shirts this year, and we’re happy to order shirts - but we can only get them if 100 people order. So if you’d like a shirt post a comment and get in touch with us to place an order.
Finish this sentence…
Sunday, January 18th, 2009“If I were in charge of Mile High Stampede, I would…”
Some answers we already received were “…Invite all area youth to the rally, not just the quizzers.” and “make the coaches of the teams quiz during the tournament sometime.”
Experienced Verses Change
Friday, January 9th, 2009After hearing from several teams and coaches from the country we have decided to reduce the number of verses for the experienced division only. The new amount is:
231 verses thru Luke 12:40
Special thanks to Tim for helping us get this sorted out. If you have any question about this do not hesitate to contact us at coordinator@milehighstampede.com or at 303-777-8888
The Beginning…Again
Thursday, January 8th, 2009Well. It’s that time a year again. We’ve been planning this year’s Mile High Stampede since last year. We’ve got some really cool things that we haven’t had in the past and we’re trying to make this the best year yet. We’re kicking MHS off with a worship rally and ice cream social on Thursday night. We’ve got teams coming from 3 different states so far (you’ll have to come to find out who they are ;). HOPEFULLY, we will have homemade gumbo (by yours truly) for dinner on Friday night and MHS t-shirts you can purchase. We’re still working out a few details with both of those though. So come ready for some good competition, good food, and good fun! Can’t wait to ya’ll there!
RED VS. YELLOW - Woop!
