Sept. 2: CTW Picnic & Concert at Camp Miakonda
So you’re going to be at the CTW picnic at Camp Miakonda, but do you know what you’ll be listening to while you’re there? Well, besides the joy filled screams of our children as they watch Mr. Killy shred apart a Slip-n-Slide with his bare chest, you’ll be hearing some original praise music written and performed by our very talented youth, along with some of our other favorite tunes performed by the older folks that wield instruments. In other words, you’ll be hearing a concert! More details will be coming soon.
