Sam & the Lads

MS RETREAT WORSHIP LEADERS

Barrett - My job is to help people be more generous. I love worship because I get to praise God for all that he has done in my life with people I love. I’m excited to lead because of how awesome all of the Southland students are!

Sam - I am a school based math instructional coach. I love all aspects of the arts, especially playing music and acting at local community theaters. I have always loved worshipping through music because it allows me to express my gratitude, love, and joy towards my savior in a way that words alone cannot. I am exited to worship together and cannot wait to see how God moves at the middle school retreat!

Daniel - I’m all about anything and everything watersports. I love helping to lead worship, because I get to use one of the talents God has given me to help others come together and praise God. And I am super excited to lead everyone in March because WHY WOULDN’T I BE!?
