Momentum Conference- June 22-28, 2008

This past week we headed to Dandridge,Tennessee for Momentum! It was a great week. Momentum is a conference put on by us and friends of ours also in youth ministry, Daniel and Rachael Lowhorn, and Ryan and Christie Russell. Daniel and Rachael (friends we met while in Clemson) live here in Cookeville and work at another church. Ryan and Christie (friends we met in seminary) live in Clarksville, Virginia. The theme of the week was "Remedy". We studied 1 Corinthians throughout the week, through teaching time, quiet times, small groups, and praise and worship times. Below are some pictures of our week.

Here is a picture of the band, who lead the praise and worship. Daniel (a member of the super group) is in the blue shirt. Wow...he's playing an electric guitar!

Here's a picture of Ryan teaching. Ryan did all of the main speaking throughout the week. Check out the awesome backdrop that Rachael made!





Above are some pictures of a few of the small groups. Of course, we had guy groups, too, but I didn't want to bother them by taking pictures. Ryan Russell (the guy from VA) writes all of the small group literature.

On Thursday night of the conference we had Andy Gullahorn, from Nashville come and play a concert for us. It was awesome, and a fun night. Above are the three (awesome) men in charge: Ryan, Daniel, and (my) Ryan:)

Since Aedan isn't weened yet, he came with us. Here he is hanging out on the loft. We spent a lot of time up here!!

My mom came to Cookeville to watch Josiah for us. Here's some sweet pictures of them together reading. Thanks, Mom!
