We love our clients, part 1: Hair today, gone tomorrow

What you are witnessing is an almost complete anthology of a three year relationship between the mustard room and westwood student ministries in cincinnati. This fruitful affair was birthed out of our ties to their mighty director, the incomparable mister joshua lemons. Way back in our early days of youth ministry at cgpc, mister lemons quickly established himself as a servant and leader among his peers. The two of us spent the second half of his high school career harnessing his passion and refining his gifts for youth ministry. Clearly it was no surprise that when he graduated from indiana wesleyan university a few years later he would go on to thrive in rallying others to love and care for young people like Jesus. Fortunately, for us, mister lemons reached out to us early on to provide graphics for and print t-shirts for their ministry's retreats and service projects. Not only have they been incredibly loyal clients of the mustard room over these past three years, but their patronage has served to help keep our families connected as well. It has been quite a delight to witness, from afar, the life unfolding before him and his high school lady/wife jennifer.

Three years later, mister lemon's lady has accepted a faculty position at the university of texas, and they have made the difficult decision to relocate to houston as they begin a new chapter in their journey. We wish them all the best, and remember, with great fondness, the collaborative endeavors which we enjoyed during their time at westwood.

Thanks again, mister joshua lemons. The mustard room salutes you!
