Featured Speaker:
Russ Britton

Russ is a baptized child of God. He also happens to be delighted that the planning team thought it might be fun for you to hear from him. He is currently a M.Div. student at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN and serves as Youth and Family Ministry Team Leader at Roseville Lutheran in Roseville, MN. After several summers on Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp staff, he has served congregations in youth ministry posts in Colorado Springs, CO and Park City, UT.

Among the many things in God’s green earth that Russ enjoys are time with his wife and their toddler son, running and fitness, both listening to and performing music, reading, laughter, and hearing students and all ages share their stories of God sightings. He is definitely looking forward to ‘getting drenched’ with you this January!
