My Weekend - Part 1

Friday afternoon I drove down to St. Mary's, Ohio where I met the Jordan family (Katie, Jeff, Pam & Tim) for our first of four concerts this weekend. Our church district was having camp meeting this past week at the district, and we were the special music.

At Friday evening's service, we performed three songs for the pre-service music, helped with the praise & worship package, and then sang three songs before the message. After the concert, several of us (Katie's aunt, cousin & a friend came down & Thom, our music minister, was there as well) went to get a bite to eat at CJ Highmarks, and then it was back to the hotel to sleep.

We also sang at the Saturday morning service. We did a very similar format to Friday evening, but we used different songs (just in case you couldn't figure that one out on your own).

A highlight of being at campmeeting was that I got to see Pastor Lloyd & Maxine McClurg. Pastor Lloyd was the associate pastor while I was at Sidney (they are also the parents of Mike, who happened to be my pastor at Sidney). They are such a dear couple, and it was great to see them and talk for a bit.

This was a good opportunity for us because there were several pastors & district leaders there...it was basically free advertisement (the best kind). The evangelists also mentioned that they had people they were going to talk to. This could be the beginning of something great!
