Darren, together with John Bumanglag, has been coming to Holden Village for almost 20 years. Currently Darren serves as the Director of Music for University Lutheran Church in Seattle and John is participating in the first cohort of NWWA Synod’s Lay Ministry Formation program as a lay leader intern at Nativity Lutheran in Renton. Their joys at Holden include leading the village in African drumming and encouraging all to join the rhythm of worship bringing their voice, their spirit, and any instrument they have brought with them. They strive to make sure each person knows that their gifts and talents are celebrated!
