The cast from the play – Jiffy, Melissa Mae, Sheriff Taco Bill, Miss Lilly, Granny Annie, and Bad Bart<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Many of you know that my new Scripture Memory Songs album came out of a partnership with my old church, Faith Covenant here in Columbus. Over the years, I’ve written many plays with my friend Terry for Faith Covenant to use during their “Adventure Week” – another name for Vacation Bible School. I’ve also been writing Scripture memory songs for the play for years. The church commissioned me this year to write and produce another 3 years worth of songs, and we combined those with my older songs to make this compilation album.<\/p>\n

This past week was “Adventure Week” and we debuted six of my new songs, as well as an entirely re-written script for our play “Showdown!” It was a Wild West adventure, and my oldest daughter, Rinnah, was in the cast playing Melissa Mae Morgenstern Mortisha McGuilligutty – the rootin’est tootin’est cowgirl this side of the Rio Grande! It was so fun to have my daughter actually in the play. The original script was the first one I’d ever written for Adventure Week, and it’s my favorite. \ud83d\ude42 And it was just great to get to work with her too – I still go in and help a bit with blocking chase sequences or in this show, the squaredance, etc. The cast is always the youth group kids, and I just love working with them. And they love having all kinds of little kids wanting their autographs!<\/p>\n

Adventure Week is a huge outreach to the community, and we have so many kids there who don’t attend a church. Many, many kids met the Lord last week, and it’s so amazing to me to know that our work had something to do with that. Who says working for the Kingdom can’t be a ton of fun?! Yeehaw!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
