An Amazing Weekend...

This past weekend was the conference that 614 runs in Canada...SAROOTS...It was really amazing. I unfortunatley didn't get a chance to make it to any of the adult venue...but was so incredibly blessed in the kids venue!!!

I was leading much of the weekend along with Denise, Kanga and some wonderful staff from camp Wabana...we all had so much fun and the kids taught me so much. It was amazing to see how much they loosened up in their worship over the weekend. They became more and more free with their worship each time that we came together! We had so much fun doing bible, crafts, sports, a pool party...it was just so much fun!

One of my favorite things from the weekend was when I was at the front talking to all the kids I asked the question "who is staying for all of Roots?" and one of the little boys in front of me looked really sad and said, "I'm only staying for 3 days"....the whole thing IS only 3 days...so I told him that and he was really excited that he'd not be missing anything!

The other great part about the weekend was that there were some afterhours times in the cafe...where there was just good music and hanging out! That was great. The first night it was my friend Erin who was singing and she was amazing...the 2nd night was Phil Laeger and Marty Mikles (don't know if I even spelled either of those names correctly!) and they too were really amazing. So it was nice to at least get to hear a bit of the adult venue stuff through the after hours cafe!

Then on Sunday night some of us stayed up at the camp because on Monday was the camps Canada Day picnic & baseball tournament...614 lost the baseball...but we did it with style...and not many other teams had the enthusiasm that we did even when losing! Then we spent some time on the beach which was eventually rained out!!!! It pretty much rained on and off again for the rest of the day! It was good fun all in all!
