Caedmon’s Call
Our church youth group is excited to attend the concert of Caedmon’s Call tonight. Our church recently bought a new mini bus and they will be able to ride together. I hope the bus can stand the noise. LOL
You might know of Caedmon’s Call through the song Ten Thousand Angels. They have a new cd out called Overdressed. They use a lot of acoustical sound which I personally enjoy.

Overdressed stems from “the idea that we’re overdressed as believers and in the church—it’s talking about sin, depravity, shame—that we’re not who we were intended to be” but tend to try to disguise it, a theme that recurs throughout the album. The band is also a longtime promoter of missional living, through their longtime partnership with Compassion International, and more recently with the Dalit Freedom Network, an organization fighting caste discrimination in India, and the band’s own Share The Well Foundation. The idea of the foundation is central to the band’s message, “to change the perspective, change the church culture, and what it means to be a believer,” says Young, from sitting in the safety of a pew to impacting a hurting world.
