Retreats are a special kind of tired. We returned home on Sunday afternoon exhausted, but infused with the light and love of Jesus.
Our closing worship service reminded us that we can't live on the mountain top. We have to take our candles and go light the world. We do that through worship, prayer, service, scripture and communion.
We watched a video, www.americanstreetkid.com. Rebecca Black, a former youth group member is on this production team. It is the story of one person seeing a need and making a difference by giving street kids a second chance. We received communion in celebration of Jesus' love and grace which gives all of us a second chance.
Caitlin shared the slide show of our weekend activities. We had an awesome time with an amazing group of kids.
Retreats are opportunities to share memories with friends, deepen your faith and explore God's creation. It's a time to " Be still, and know that God is here."
