The Youth spent a wonderful weekend together reconnecting with the Lord and each other. Bible lessons, team building activities and fellowship allowed the youth to understand that the choices they make today will impact the choices they have in the future. Choices such as not overreacting and relying on the Holy Spirit for self control. Other choices such as relying on God for strength instead of trying to be perfect.
The Youth encouraged each other during challenges such as the Obstacle Course. When someone was scared to take the next step, the other kids pushed one another to keep moving forward.
This retreat allowed the Youth to be around nature and in the presence of God and His creation.
Along with Courtney and me, E. J. Soto, Della Burrage and Ashley Alabo went with us to assist us in all our activities. We are grateful that they were willing to experience the retreat along with the Youth.
