Last weekend several of our adults, teens and children attended the Lads 2 Leaders convention at the Opryland Hotel. This weekend is always inspiring. I love watching so many children and young people from all over the Southeast use their talents for the glory God. If your child is not involved with L2L, let me encourage you to consider being a part of this wonderful event next year.

Thirty-five young people from Walter Hill participated in Lads this year. We are so proud of each and every one of these individuals: Josie Cooper, Will Cooper, King Davis, Nova Davis, Zaniyah Davis, Aaron DeMario, Grant DeMario, Isaac DeMario, Olivia Ellis, Colton England, Paxton England, Charlotte Foster, Ian Foster, Ryan Foster, Ellis Harrington, Jansen Harrington, Christian Hutchens, Blake Lancaster, Tyler Lancaster, Braden McNabb, Briley McNabb, Carson McNabb, Savannah McNabb, Kayla Miller, Ella Mitchell, Eli Mitchell, Bennett Morris, Caden Morton, Cameron Morton, Elijah Phillips, Reagon Shambaugh, Reid Shambaugh, Danek Smith, Anna Grace Thomas, and Courtney Wilson.

Each of these young people did an incredible job in every event they participated in, and we couldn’t be any more proud of them! Not only did they represent Walter Hill well, but they gained so much that will help them in the future as they continue to serve the Lord.

Several of our young people did so well that they were either a finalist or placed in some of the events they participated in. Here’s what we have, but if we missed anything, please let us know.

All of our young people representing Walter Hill did a phenomenal job last weekend at Lads 2 Leaders. Thank you to our shepherds for supporting this great work each year and to all the parents, grandparents, mentors and coaches who helped out. May we continue teaching and training our children so they will be prepared to lead in the Lord’s Church for many years to come.
