TIM 2014 - A Look Back (Part 1)

A few months ago, Greg and I were honored to be the official photographers for a new movement spearheaded by our own Pastor from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Together in Mission (or TIM for short) is a TEDx-style event focused on ideas that will help strengthen, improve, and broaden ministry in the Metro DC area. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I was also asked to speak at the event (more on that tomorrow).

The event highlighted 13 speakers who spilled their heart about topics ranging from sustainability to taking care of the elderly to embracing our inner quitter. And, as is customary at these events, the audience was just as amazing as the speakers! Greg and I had a chance to connect with several of them during breaks and made a few new close friendships - something I believe everyone needs more of!

The TIM team is already in planning mode for the 2015 event, so be sure to like their Facebook page to keep up with the latest news and updates. And in the meantime, be sure to watch the videos of each speaker!

So much energy during registration!

Delicious lunch in the "Hogwarts-esque" dining hall.
