XYZ ACTIVITY GROUP
"What we love to do and why!"
Keynotes (and more)
When Oddwalk is featured at a conference or rally, that responsibility is taken very seriously.
Working in conjunction with local parish, school, or diocesan staff, Oddwalk tailors its
message of community, participation, and mission to the local theme and various needs of the
community. Engaging music in Oddwalk keynotes often includes Let the Children Come to
Me, Get It Together, We Will Go, Lord, and much of our concert music as well. Oddwalk can
also be called upon to serve as emcees, a warm-up act, a main presenter, the house band
leaders or prayer leaders. Using themes such as Faith, Vocation, Eucharist, and Justice,
Oddwalk tries to give to a group a sense of Christian mission and transformation.
Concerts
Through an uplifting blend of energetic, thought-provoking, and prayerful songs, Oddwalk is
adept at providing hours of evangelism and entertainment. Shannon and Orin get crowds on
their feet with songs like Matilda the Gorilla, Chickenwire Joe, and For All Time. Audiences
are challenged with songs like You Are Love For Me, In My Heart, and Show Us the Way.
Finally, Shannon and Orin use songs like Come to Me and I Am to give all people a genuine
opportunity to grow stronger in their experience of prayer.
Coffeehouses
This is an area in which Oddwalk shines. Coffeehouses provide Shannon and Orin with
venues to share songs and stories that are often skipped over in a high-energy rally or
conference. Songs such as What Do You Believe, In the Garden, and Oh St. Joseph tend to be
highlights of a coffeehouse show. Through the intimacy of a smaller show, Oddwalk can take
yet another opportunity to witness their faith and help others grow in theirs.
Retreats
Oddwalk retreats are focused on drawing young people into a deeper understanding of
themselves and their relationship with God. Through a mix of reflective music such as I Give
My Spirit, Surrender, In The Garden, and Anima Christi, witnessing, activities, discussion, and
prayer, Oddwalk engages and challenges youth and young adults with the Gospel. Oddwalk
has experience providing retreats for 7-12th grade teens (including Confirmation groups) and
college-aged and other young adults.
Workshops
Oddwalk workshops focus on educating/catechizing in an entertaining way, and preparing
leaders of our Church for the challenges that they may face in their parish or school. Music
featured at workshops might include Let Us Go, Rejoicing, Bless the Lord, My Soul, My Name
is I AM, or many others. In particular, our workshops on Liturgy and Liturgical Leadership are
effective tools for those wishing to expand and clarify their current knowledge and
experience, and for those who wish to grow more deeply into their faith through a fuller
understanding of ritual and music.
