Such a great ministry weekend with the NW Brass & Chorus in Spokane. From late night rehearsals, changing concert venues, waiting out cold, rain, and wind on a parade, and a wonderful Sunday service, I am beyond blessed to minister alongside these fantastic people. Shout out to for her first weekend event with the divisional groups and to and the Spokane crew for being awesome hosts!!
