Justin Fennel
Everyone loves a good laugh. That's what you're guaranteed to experience when you hear JUSTIN N. FENNELL. (That's “fin” + “nail”) Don't say his name too quick or it sounds like just an infidel! It’s yarn-spinning stories, props, audience participation, funny music and stand-up comedy. The best part of it is that all of his material is clean and appropriate. Fennell says, “You know, it just doesn't have to be filthy to be funny.” His performances are rated “E” for everyone!

Through talks, drama, and music, they create an atmosphere where teens can open their hearts to an encounter with the Holy Spirit.

Kingdom of Courage
Join us as we travel back to the days of old, where knights
and princesses lived and castles covered the land. But beware!!! Evil lurks and
we must get prepared. As young pages we'll learn about the Armor of God, the
importance of putting it on, and having courage to take a stand. We'll sing
songs of valor, hone our skills in the Tournament of Games, and train in the
ways of the Mighty King!
