Arlington, WA is one of the coolest little cities I have been to. I especially love the quaint, small-town feel of downtown Arlington… which was right were we set up for our Party in the Park on “Care Day”.

I love seeing cool, artsy ways to make an otherwise boring-but necessary-object become super interesting. Check out this electric meter that is sitting at the park where we had our “Care Day” party in the park.

Yesterday I wrote a little about spending the third day of CauseCamp NW focused on what it looks like to CARE for others. One way we decided to do that was by providing a fun block party at a local park in Arlington, WA.

After spending the full second day in prayer, we spent the third day of CauseCamp NW focused on what it looks like to CARE for others.

This amazing group of students and leaders were praying for the people in their friend group to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ…

Here is a photo I snapped a couple of weeks ago while I was out on Craft Island in the Pacific Northwest.

I was able to snap this photo quickly on my iPhone as Piper was coming into the final leg of the junior high girls race at Waynedale yesterday. ​

With this being the first week of school, I figured I would do a set of “Photo Every Day 2023” photos highlighting each of our exceptional students, and listing one of their (many) great qualities that I admire.
