Tickets for MercyMe went on sale last Friday, Aug. 27, 2010, and it was non-stop selling throughout the day with over 1, 000 concert tickets sold. MercyMe presents “LOVEWELL LIVE IN CONCERT” at Joplin Memorial Hall on November 6, with special guest Phil Wickham. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
“We have had a huge response from fans about this concert,” said Beth Peacock, evens manager for the city’s parks and recreation department. “If people are interested, great seats are still available and can be purchased online, by phone or in person – whatever is convenient for them. It has been exciting to see this response. We saw many youth pastors and churches buy large groups of tickets in upwards of 30-plus tickets for their groups. It should be a great event for Joplin.”
MercyMe is a multi-platinum and award winning band that offers contemporary Christian music. The band released their latest album, “The Generous Mr. Lovewell” earlier this year. It gave the band the highest chart debut of their career. MercyMe’s unbroken streak of gold and platinum efforts began in 2001 with the number one single, "I Can Only Imagine".
According to the group’s website, “Mr. Lovewell” is a movement for people to recognize and accept grace they see in others and in themselves.
“He’s an idea. He’s a movement. He’s the hope that the little things can add up to a big change He’s what the Bible has already called us to do…love one another. Look for the best in people. Give people a chance regardless of status, race or gender. Mr. Lovewell is the understanding that the gospel is for everyone. Some may receive it, some may reject it, but, from where we’re standing, all that should matter is that the Gospel applies to us all. Who are we to demand the outcome before we decide to contribute? Do we wait and tip the waitress only if she’s done a great job? Or do we tip her even when she’s having the worst day? That’s what God’s grace is…unconditional. Grace leaves no room for “I’ve earned this” or “I deserve this.” What a concept! To love and be loved no matter what!”
