Amen. If you're in the room, you can have a seat. If you're at the Frederick campus, it's good to have you guys. You can have a seat and if you're online, you probably already have a seat sitting on the couch. So it's good to have you, um, with us and man. Good to see everybody. I know it's summer. It's a little crazy, but great things going on. We had a worship night this last week and uh, tons of people came. And one of the things, if you were there, uh, one of the things that was coolest to me is we sang nine songs and of those nine songs, eight songs were songs that our team has written about things flowing right out of this place. And it was just fantastic. So, um, man, every time you come in worship, just know this team, man, they are doing some great things.
Great guys, great ladies that are just leading us and uh, super thankful for that. Hey, one thing, there's a lot that you're doing this summer, but as we go through summer, we're gonna come ramping out into the fall and we wanna make sure that you're ready. And so I wanna give you an opportunity to just give you one announcement before we get in the message about something that's coming in September, that if you don't sign up for now, you're gonna miss out. And so if you've been around this place very long at all, you know that we do something every September calls, shine prom and it is one of the most awesome, wonderful, beautiful, most exciting joyous times of the year. It's one of the best days we have. And so our shine prom is this. We do a special needs prom for our special needs friends.
It's, it's teenagers all the way through adults. And uh, we just allow them to be the, the king or the queen of the prom for a night. And we've got hundreds of volunteers, literally from both campuses, um, that sign up to help out with this. And so what I wanna do today is just give you an opportunity to let you know that signups for volunteering are opening are open right now. And usually what happens is when I say that somebody, everybody gets out their phones or the people who've been around here, get out their phones because they know it will fill up like today and tomorrow. So if you want to sign up and help out with shine prom, there's all kinds of opportunities. Volunteer wise to do that. You should do that today at latest tomorrow because they will fill up fast and it'll be awesome.
