Acappella's purpose and the message it
sends.
Guy said one of the group's mission
statements is found in Luke 19:10; "The
Son of Man came to save that which was
lost."
"That's the main thing" Guy said. "We
all were lost just like the song Amazing
Grace Is talking about but now we're
found because of jesus. Arid what we try
to do Is to use the powerful tool of music
and put it with the good message of God
and what He sent us through his word.
Its all about saving people that arc lost."
Amazing Grace was one of the songs
performed by the group. Schaffer said by
performing old songs In a new way
lyrics arc often re-dlscovcrcd by audi-
ence members.

"The traditional hymns we sing differ-
ently make you think more about the
words. People often begin to sing out of
habit and when you hear something a
different way you think 'Oh yeah'"
Schaffer said.
The group not only changes songs but
has also changed members during the
past few years .- a fact which Adams
who has becri'J member sfhce'"1990
hopes has not affected their message.
"When the members change wc never
sound exactly like wc want to but the
message Is the same - and thats the crux
of what we're trying to do" Adams said
"As long as it doesn't take away from the
message we're trying to present we keep
working on the vocals and the blend."

although at times the spotlight can be a
struggle. Guy said they often are sur-
rounded by children and teenagers who
look to them as role models.
He said "Its a blessing although I
used to struggle with all the attention.
And it's still hard to deal with some-
times .but when you think that Uicse

"God Is using me using us to be an
example to them.
"Thats a pressure because you have to
watch what you do and you have to be
