Lee’s authentic faith and heart moving music persuasively invites an audience to find their hope and joy in the Lord.   Lee’s relationship with music began in junior high when he would play at recess hoping that his peers would throw their snacks in his opened guitar case. His high school band shared many musical and ministry adventures which led Lee into a professional music career in his senior year. Those days brought opportunities for big stage experiences at NCYC, The Fest, opening for Jeremy Camp, Icthus Festival sharing the Stage with Hawk Nelson, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Matt Maher and Kings Island Spirit Song, opening for 10th Avenue North. Lee’s original music has been featured as Catholic Heart Work Camp theme songs and an ABC’s Extreme Weight Loss episode. Lee currently travels the US leading worship and concerts for camps, parishes, conferences, rallies and retreats. His life can be summed up in the words he lives by, “Your will O Lord, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.”  Event is Sponsored by Sadlier Religion whose newest resource Christ in Us weaves themes of missionary discipleship into its K-6 religious education curriculum with elements of encounter, accompaniment, community and send in every lesson and chapter.  Presently in English, to be translated fully into Spanish in 2021, this resource includes catechist formation before each unit, lesson planning tools for catechists, digital tools for online learning, adaptations for children with special needs and student edition e-books.  Following this Wednesdays@1 will be a Sadlier Publishers Showcase on Christ in Us on Thursday, August 27th at 1:00 PM.  ONLINE Diocese of Raleigh techsupport@faithcatholic.com America/New_York public
