On Friday night, Josh Eastin and I went to lead music for the Kaskaskia River District Picnic for the pastors.  It was a really neat evening hosted at Epworth Camp.  The food was delicious and the music turned out good.  There were a handful of camp kids there and somehow, Josh wound up leading Banana’s United with all the pastors.  I think there’s hope for the church.  It was also fun to have Ruby and Suzanne travel with us that evening.

Saturday evening, Matt Renfro, Jeff Nail and I drove to Robinson, IL and met up with Kim Przybylski and Zak Stoldt for the Praise Fest.  After listening to the Sonshiners Quartet,  Harvest led from 8:00 – 9:30.  It was a great crowd and tons of fun. 

Sunday morning, I was at our church in Troy, IL and after the first half of the service, I left by the way, (thanks to the Troy UMC praise band for finishing the service) because I was invited to speak for the McKendree University New Student Orientation Chapel service in Lebanon, IL.  Following the service, Suzanne, Ruby and I had lunch in the college cafeteria.  It was a treat.
