ESCAPE ROOM

Can you join? Please RSVP to Kristin by Sunday, July 28th.

We had the absolute best week! Thank you so much for supporting us and praying for our time away. We learned a lot about planting and persisting in peace.

The atmosphere at a youth conference is truly unmatched, and it is so inspiring to be in a room with 600+ young people who have a shared faith. Our group went with Newark Second Presbyterian and we LOVED getting to know their group and sharing the week with them. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship between the two groups!

We have approximately one billion photos, but here is a quick video so you can see just how much fun we had! A note on the song in the background of the video: We sang the song Crowded Table by the Highwomen in worship quite a few times. About halfway through the week we realized that the words were describing the very eclectic home that we stayed in.

“You can hold my hand
When you need to let go
I can be your mountain
When you're feeling valley-low
I can be your streetlight
Showing you the way home
You can hold my hand
When you need to let go

I want a house with a crowded table
And a place by the fire for everyone
Let us take on the world while we're young and able
And bring us back together when the day is done

If we want a garden
We're gonna have to sow the seed
Plant a little happiness
Let the roots run deep
If it's love that we give
Then it's love that we reap
If we want a garden
We're gonna have to sow the seed

Yeah I want a house with a crowded table
And a place by the fire for everyone
Let us take on the world while we're young and able
And bring us back together when the day is done

The door is always open
Your picture's on my wall
Everyone's a little broken
And everyone belongs
Yeah, everyone belongs

I want a house with a crowded table
And a place by the fire for everyone
Let us take on the world while we're young and able
And bring us back together when the day is done
And bring us back together when the day is done”

We truly loved our crowded table, and we hope you’ll see the love in the video below.
