We're not interns, we're resident leaders. That is the core of this program because it's more than getting involved and learning, it's about putting what you've learned into action. My focus for the summer has been worship and I had expected to come, learn about worship, lead on Sundays, and maybe give a song suggestion or two. However, throughout my time here I've led almost every Sunday, I planned and ran all of kid's camp worship, I've been in charge of running Sunday worship (scheduling people, putting together slides, running rehearsals), and I even got to bring in my own idea to implement. I put together a Worship Workshop for 6-12th graders where the next generation got to learn from myself and other members of the worship team! More than just learning about leadership, we actually had the opportunities to lead, and it has equipped me very well as I prepare to graduate college.
