This is a picture of the youth filing into our chapel for Matins. We don't quite fill it, but it's great hearing all the kids and a great pipe organ singing our great hymns. We're here at least three times a day for Matins (morning), Vespers (afternoon), and Evening Prayer (evening). Wonderful liturgies that the kids really love.
Last night, sadly, it rained pretty hard right before Evening Prayer. We tried to wait it out, but it just kept raining. But you know what? The kids all ran to the chapel (several minutes, depending on how fast you are!) and would rather be soaking wet than miss Evening Prayer! And I don't just mean my kids - ALL the kids here. I give them a lot of credit for that.
Here's our group photo after Evening Prayer in our - at varying stages of wetness - conference t-shirts.
The rain also meant we didn't go to the fireworks. :-( I love fireworks. So we stayed in and played games instead - which were a lot of fun, too. Some pictures:
Today is the last day, and then the long drive home. Another good week! Now, breakfast and the kids get to hear me preach!
