Kim & Hallie went to Oklahoma.
Kim & Hallie went to Oklahoma to be a part of the team behind a high school youth conference for kids from churches in Oklahoma, Kansas, & Colorado.
Hallie got to miss a day of school and hang out with the cool people.
Here’s what it looked like…..

My girl and I are heading to Oklahoma tonight. We are going to be a part of the production team for a youth conference this weekend: me, as a part of the worship team, and my girl as a general helper-behind-the-scenes-but-in-the-middle-of-everything, which is her very favorite place to be. We’re looking forward to this little adventure together. Hopefully we’ll be able to post a bit as the event goes one. Maybe–maybe–even some video. There will be gear, instruments, singing, food, and everywhere…. students.
But for tonight…. we ride. zoom zoom.

This Sunday we took our annual tradition of honoring graduates a step further by adding the flavor of youth ministry to all parts of our worship services.

The message was offered by our youth pastor, and worship was led by a student worship band. Which also included me. Even though I’m ever-so-slightly older than 18. Given this occasion, we had almost no difference between our three services. The order of things looked like this:
