We embarked on an unforgettable journey to Colorado, where we discovered an enchanting cabin nestled amidst the majestic mountains. During this transformative trip, our focus extended beyond leadership development; we meticulously crafted a comprehensive calendar for the year ahead and engaged in team-building activities immersed in the natural beauty that surrounded us.
Our dedicated executive members and officer crew dedicated their precious holiday weekend to this enriching experience, demonstrating their commitment to both personal and New G growth. In addition to honing our leadership skills, we savored moments of serenity in nature, further deepening the bonds that unite our exceptional team. This expedition not only prepared us for the challenges of the upcoming year but also nurtured our collective spirit, fostering a stronger and more resilient team dynamic.
Tour Day 8 – New York City – Broadway Show New York New York
I love the city. I know, I know, it’s not an opinion that is held by all. Especially, those of us that had a choice to live somewhere other than Saint Joseph but chose the city bountiful anyway. I’m one of those people (Emily and I actually live in Kansas City) but...

Tour Day 6 – Buffalo, NY – To Oasis of Love in PA

Tour Day 5 – Buffalo NY to Niagara Falls NY

Tour Day 4 – Mansfield, OH to Baker Memorial UMC in East Aurora NY
If there is a “routine” day on tour today, was it. Up in the morning to get picked up from our host families, scrambling to get all the suitcases and sleeping bags loaded up, and rolling out of Mansfield, OH on our way to Buffalo, NY. But, of course, no day on tour is...
Tour Day 3 – Clay City, IN to Mansfield, OH – Jericho Wall & Arc Community Church

Tour Day 2 – Rochester UMC then to Faith Southern Baptist in Clay City, IN
Here I am, Lord. Well folks, Joseph here again, and we’re in another time zone. My watch is telling me that it is 9:15, but my phone is telling me it’s 10:30… and my body is too. You can tell we are further east by more than just the move into Eastern Time, though. ...
Tour Day 1 – Send Off at AUMC & Rochester UMC in Rochester, IL
Hey everybody back in Joe Town! It’s Joseph here with our first daily blog of Tour 2023. I know you might have been expecting Matt to write these, but I mentioned interest, and he immediately challenged me to a good ol’ fashioned arm wrastle. You can obviously see...
Sing-Out #10 – Wyatt Park Christian Church – 07/09/23
To say we are grateful for what started in this church is a major understatement. Someone had the vision, and the bravery to start something that has been able to endure over a lot of challenges, and positivity. This year as we conclude our Sermon in a different...
Sing-Out #9 – Ashland United Methodist Church 07/02/23
