Strypette

Like I Was Saying posted about some of her favorite entries on the Stuff Christians Like Blog. The first of her favorites was #7 - Stryper. It got me headed down memory lane back to my youth group in the mid-late 1980s. We had a lip-sync contest, and one of the performing "bands" was "Strypette", four girls performing to Stryper music.

After commenting on Like I Was Saying's post, I remembered that I have pictures of Strypette. So here they are, performing at Powerhouse youth group on the stage of Allison Park Assembly of God near Pittsburgh, PA in 1987(?):


Click on the picture if you want to see it larger. Like I Was Saying has a great picture of Stryper from the 80s on her post.

Does this bring back any memories for you? Or were you still in diapers in 1987?

I vaguely remember them. I was 12. I was more into Amy Grant than "heavy metal"

If we're talking 1987, my favorites would have been #8, #17, #22 and #63. I did see both Petra and Whiteheart in concert during high school.
