Test-run of foot-washing operation at the Summit was a success!

We did a test-run of the foot-washing operation that we’re planning to do at Burning Man at the recent Northern California Church Alive Summit in Sacramento.  It was a definite success.  One surprising thing was how strongly attracted to this a couple of the children were — they really gravitated towards it, and were fearless about asking people to come and let them wash their feet.  Precious!

We’re going to the Northern California Church Alive Summit this weekend!

We’re happy to be going to the Northern California Church Alive Summit  this weekend in Sacramento, CA.  We’re looking forward to sharing our ideas about our camp with the ~650 Christian Scientists expected to be in attendance.  We’re going to be sharing the postcard featured below at the Summit.  Like it?
