“Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Teach them to observe all things that I have commanded you.  And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:19-20

We believe that we have been called to use the gifts God has given us to reach unbelievers for Him and to encourage, and build up His Church.

LOL at North Baldwin Baptist

The pastor of North Baldwin Baptist church, Will Kindred, is a big supporter of Windham Christian Academy, the home school of the LOL juggling team. Perhaps it is because his wife is the kindergarten teacher, or because his son is in the second grade, but he is definitely one of the school's biggest cheerleaders. So it was no surprise when he invited LOL to do an entire Sunday morning service a week ago. His church even held a potluck lunch for the whole team AND their families.

LOL did a full hour program. Anna, Ella, Lillia and Grace did their tumbling routine in a rather crowded space, but it was excellent. Gideon played piano up to his predictable standard of excellence; after all, he plays for the Portland Youth Symphony. But, of course, it is the juggling that sets us apart. Jordan did multiple high throws with her new diabolo- which she only started to use less than a week prior. Sam juggled clubs for the first time, and Grace juggled three balls on a balance board. The team was at the top of their game.

They ended with the juggling routine "Beautiful, Scandalous Night" in which they bring bandannas with words like "fear", "hate", "sin" and so forth to a large wooden cross one at a time while Hunter, playing Jesus, beacons them forward. After draping their bandanna on the cross, they kneel, Jesus lays his hand on their shoulder, and they stand back up, and juggle to the music. This description does not do it justice, but it is a powerful routine centered exactly where a Christian presentation needs to be centered: the cross.

Afterwards, there were a lot of compliments, wonderful food, and- for my wife and me- the chance to catch up with some old friends: the Irish family and a couple former students. It was a great morning all around.
