Children and youth are serving with the Sing, Pray and Keep His Ways project at the LCMS Convention, and we talk with them in this episode. Students Zoe, Ginny, JT, Matthew, and Luke who are serving with the choir, altar guild or acolytes join Andy to talk about what they like about serving at the convention, how they prepared for their work, and the people they’ve met. In the second half of the episode, Olivia Gaschler (Project Coordinator for Sing, Pray and Keep His Ways, LCMS Office of National Mission) joins Andy to talk about what this project is, how the children are serving at the LCMS Convention, the benefits of investing in opportunities for children to learn and serve, and what she’s learned in working with the children at the convention.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
