Tribal Gathering!

Wanted to share some pics from the ROCK's Tribal Gathering last week! We had a blast loving Jesus together, serving and praying for our out-of-town ROCK family who were here (I think there were at least 8 or 9 other cities represented from different parts of the country), getting to know our out-of-town fam, etc.... Alissa was in town and led worship for us, and it was so fun to get to be on her team again. Stan alternated between playing drums and running sound, and I played the piano & sang... The presence of Jesus was so sweet, as He came to refresh and renew our hearts, and to draw us into deeper surrender to Him. Awesome times. Oh! Thanks to those of you who prayed for Stan - he was able to be there EVERY night and didn't end up having to work late at all!! Woohoo! And my health stayed intact, despite a super busy, physically exhausting week. Thank You Lord!!

Okay.... here are some pics. Enjoy. :) Love you guys. (Check out www.rocktribe.org)

The guys praying together...

I stole this pic from Danielle...mostly because in the background Jason's trying to get in to make a weird face, but doesn't quite make it, which I think is funny. :)

Stan with Dirk, Lene, and Evie, who came from Concord, NC to stay with us during Tribal! We had a blast getting to know these guys! Lots of laughing together. :) Fun times!!
Our older kids' group - these are ROCK fam kids from all over the place - along with Brandon and Peter from Toledo, and Jackie from KC.

I'll leave you with a video of our kiddos playing a game to help them memorize one of their Bible Verses for the week. They learned about the Kingdom of God all week - good stuff! See if you can hear which verse they're learning....

...AND... a quick video of our kids learning what God's Kingdom IS!
