Things are going to be different this year!!
First off, we will be staying at the Marin Headlands Institute in Sausalito instead of staying at a congregation. Yes, this means beds and showers for everyone!!! Whoo hoo!! Parents will pick up their Happeners at the Headlands Institute on Sunday afternoon after the 4:00 Closing Eucharist.
Music! We will also be rockin’ out with master musician Sam Hensley from the Diocese of Washington, D.C. Check Sam out at samhensley.org. Bring your instruments and skills – we predict a monster jam! Sam will be heading up a Music Team ...if you are interested in being on the team and have attended Happening before, please follow the directions for applying to be on staff.
