After seeing a preview of the 180 Tour in Nashville during GMA week, we booked the tour for the RTD Youth Rally on Thursday night. There will be no admission charge for Thursday! We’re very excited to present the 180 Tour! The Tour features recording artist Casting Pearls with speaker Crystal Miller. Crystal is a survivor of the Columbine High School shootings that occurred in 1999. She presents her account of what happened that day in April. Casting Pearls presents a high energy performance with contests and the presentation of the Gospel. Make your plans now to attend the Youth Rally. You do not want to miss this life-changing event!
