Proud of my Alma Mater on NBC's Sing Off ... Lee University

This past week our family has anxiously watched each round of NBC's Sing Off. When the Voices of Lee made it to the Top Three, our hearts swelled with pride.  Now the nation knows what we have known for many, many years ... that God has raised up a small Church of God University to make the world a better place through music. The director of Voices of Lee, Danny Murray, has helped shaped young voices for over thirty years. I can remember as a freshman on campus being a member of one of his choirs.  Danny has the ability to take people with little talent and make them sound good and as NBC has discovered, Danny has the ability to take people with good talent and make them great.


When you look at the landscape of Stevens Creek you will see Lee Alumni throughout our church.... Todd, April, Kevin, Melissa, Ann, Sharon and the list goes on and on. We have three students presently at Lee, my daughter, Sarah, is a senior at Lee this year, along with Wes Lutes and Paige Lutes. 


Back to the Voices of Lee, what you may not know is that Stevens Creek's, John Tyler Black, traveled with Voices for four years while in school and just left the group last December to join the team here at The Creek.    Here's one more thought ... you know how people own shares in a business... did you know that Stevens Creek is a share-holder in Lee University.  Seriously.  So, when you see Voices of Lee on NBC, you can say "that's my group."

I am always amazed by the voices and musical talent of the worship team at SCC! I am so thankful that they share their talents with their church family, because the Lord uses them almost every Sunday to touch my heart! They are wonderful, and the church cd happens to be one of my favorite cd's!

Very proud of the Voices of Lee and their recent performance on the Sing Off. Fantastic Vocal Group. Grateful and thankful for the obvious impact of all their alumni here at our church. We are all richly blessed by their God given talents every week.
