Mayor Michael Sessions

One of the cool parts of camp this year was pulling off a spontaneous visit from America’s youngest mayor Michael Sessions. Michael was elected as Hillsdale, Michigan’s mayor last November at the age of 18 after a write-in campaign and going door-to-door. He has since appeared on David Letterman, Jay Leno, The Today Show, Ellen and a whole bunch of other news programs.
We found a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who knew someone that had worked with Michael. A few emails later and he was at our Wednesday night service.
I did a brief interview with him at the start of the service. He was a great sport and spoke well in front of the large group. He encouraged them to believe in themselves and to have the courage to take initiative.
The walrus wasn’t really part of the service… in case you were wondering… or confused.

That’s cool, I had seen that guy in a couple of interviews but somehow Hillsdale, MI did not register.
