We're Taking Over!

We had three kids dramas going on at once this weekend! Hannah was storytelling in the Garden Patch and Under the Sea rooms, Brad, Scott, Luke and Larry (who also directed) were doing a hilarious drama about Joseph and his brothers in the Penguin Room, and Sam, Josh, and Sierra directed by Dalene were doing an awesome "out of the box" drama for the Jungle and Heir Force rooms. The drama team was literally ministering to every kid but the babies! Way to go, team!

Go Team!

Between an awesome drama from Fletch directed by Dalene, Amy's wedding where I got to hang with Kelly a bit before she heads south for six months, and night on the town watching Sophie and Lauren have a blast together, what a great night for great teams! Feelin' so blessed with this busy day.: )

Being yourself onstage is the most intimidating things for most people, let alone actors. I'm in awe at Fletch's courage to be so open with so many people. A great risk after all he's been through and a breathtaking sign of how God is moving in his life! Dalene did an amazing job directing. She's so gifted at refining performance and encouraging people all at once. Shoot them an e-mail or facebook message when you get a chance to let him know you're proud of them, too! GO, TEAM!

Baptism Celebration!

Join me in celebrating a great day today with Shannon and Jake who were baptized together at the Elkhart site, Dalene who's daughter Grace and nephew Dan were baptized, Mark and Kem Meyer whose daughter Emmie was baptized, our awesome sax player Anna who was baptized with her husband (who committed his life to Jesus just last week!), and one of our talented writers Michelle Wegner whose daughter Whitney was baptized (by her dad-- such a sweet moment!) and to top it all off, the day ended in a wonderful proposal and a new start for the Shivers family. What a great day!

Congrats, Dave and Deb!

Join me in celebrating with Dave and Deb on their baptism tonight! Jen's daughter Addison was also baptized, and I found myself crying wacthing her try to hold her camera steady as she cried watching her oldest child commit her life publicly to Jesus. Tomorrow morning, I'm heading over to Elkhart hoping to catch Jake and Shannon's baptism. What a glorious weekend!
