Setapart 07
Setapart 07 was the International Youth Convention of the Wesleyan Church. Every four years our denomination will host this convention. This year it was held in Orlando, Florida. Brian was in charge of registration at one of the three hotels housing the teens, Rosen Shingle Creek. This required a lot of computer time before the actual convention began along with being "on duty" for a couple days during the convention. We enjoyed our responsibilities for the registration process but missed getting to spend more time with our teens that attended the conference. We are thankful for our GREAT youth sponsors that took over when we couldn't be there!
The teens enjoyed the rallies and seminars. I know some of the teens did make the commitment to live holy lives...set apart from the things the world has to offer!! These conventions are so important in their young lives. The conventions I attended as a teen helped make me who I am today.
We were on the go most of the time...the schedule was pretty full! We did enjoy an afternoon out at Downtown Disney. We had dinner at Planet Hollywood...pretty cool!!
Those attending from Chapel Pike were Payge Lewton, Nathan Lewton, Krista Wilson, Jessica Holland, Wesley Holland, Kaylee VanNess, Tyler Nelson, Jordan Nelson, Crystal Smith, Terry Beal and Lauren Sonnefield...Adult sponsors were Kent and Angie Santee, Anna Huey, Christy Parandi and Tera Beal (woo hoo!! Christy and Tera drove the teens down and back!!)
Welp, that's the report from Setapart...what a great group we had working for the Lord in sunny Florida!! :)

Hey I took the first picture of Jess and Payge. :) That was a fun trip. The sunshine was wonderful. The weather wasn't the only thing that was great, the overall convention was a great experience that I'm glad the teens got to take part in.
Brian and Jaye, enjoyed reading about your Orlando trip, AND the great family pictures you've posted on your entire blog.
I'll keep a close watch on you now....
Your loving Aunt Mary
Yeah, Aunt Mary...I'm glad you found us! It's great to hear from you! :)
