LAUGHING IN NASHUA

On Wednesday, September 15th, I offered a program of biblical joy and laughter at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Nashua, Iowa. Below are some of the photos and a video from the laughing volunteer appreciation banquet. The youth group got really into my laughter hats and we all had a wonderful time. Laughing is a fun way to bring a church group together.

The organizer, Elayne Werges had this to say about the event:
"Thank you so much for coming to Nashua and speaking. We want to specially thank you for helping us to laugh again. You are such a blessing to this church!"

LAUGHING LUTHERANS LADIES

On Wednesday, September 8, I had the amazing priviledge of laughing with a group of Lutheran ladies—and not just any group, an enormous group of about 135. The area gathering of the Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was held at a camp on the shores of the beautiful Twin Lakes in Northwest Iowa. I was the keynote speaker at the event, which was a day-long retreat with lots of holy laughter.

The night before, I got to stay in this beautiful cabin with a view of the lake. My wonderful hostess,

Donna, is pictured with me below.

Below are some action shots from the day.
