Response to Westboro Baptist "church"

Have you heard of Westboro Baptist "Church" ?


I hadn't until two weeks ago. But I've learend that they have no business calling themselves baptist or a church. They came to Olympia last week. They went to Olympia High School and our capital to picket with hateful signs and horrendous, hurtful messages. They're a group out of Kansas that has made it to almost every major city in the United States...picketing military funerals and towns...spreading hate. It's awful.


My pastors as well as over 30 other pastors in Thurston county came together to respond to these people. We were not silent, we did not just stand by as these people swept through our city, attempting to destroy the reputation of love we've tried for so long to show our city.

I am SO proud to call Living Water my church.

Repossess 2.0

The 14th bi-annual Repossess was last Sunday night at Capital High School. It was a POWERFUL night! I wish everyone couldve been there to experience it. It started at 630, but students started piling up at the doors around 5pm. The excitement and anxiousness always pumps me up!

Olivia, Z, and I manned the merch table, selling tshirts, dvds, etc. We got to use these sweet gadgets to take cards for payment--Repossess gone hi-tech! Call me nerdy but I was pretty fascinated.

Students rushed in the doors, grabbing glow sticks as they passed.

THEN the music started and the rest is history. Pastor Tim Wimberly delievered an incredible message and shared his testimony. The Lord's presence was moving, crowds of students ran down to the altar to get saved / rededicate their life to the Lord. It was awesome!
