Seniors Mallory Riley and Sarah Mammoliti enjoy the Pillar concert on Sunday, Oct. 25. The concert was held at Jefferson Assembly of God in Meriden.

Teens from Jeff West and all over Jefferson County got together Sunday, Oct. 25 to have a great time while listening to Christian rock music.
Pillar, KJ-52 and Seventh Time Down performed at Jefferson Assembly of God at 7 p.m. for the last night of their Confessions Tour.
“I’ve known [Pillar] for a long times, [so] it’s just like friends getting together,” said KJ-52.
Teens who attended all said that they had a great time. Words like “exhilarating,” “awesome,” “fantastic” and “ridiculously amazing” were used to describe their experience.
“It’s always good to give different music a try,” said sophomore Connor Delfelder. “Once I heard their music, I liked it a lot.”
The Confessions Tour is about “being transparent with others,” according to Rob Beckley, lead singer of Pillar. The inspiration for this tour comes from James 5:16- “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”
“I liked Pillar,” said sophomore Megan Yarger. “They were the best.”
Junior Brayden Moore enjoyed hanging out with the bands during the set-up before the concert. He said it was “a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
“It was so much fun,” said junior Lysette Anderson. “I had a blast.”
