Fall Retreat only a little late


Well it has been over a month since I last blogged, but here are a couple of updates. First off fall retreat was terrific. We joined several other churches in the area for a weekend filled with singing, reflection and of course goofing around.
During the weekend we were asked what we were standing for. In the Gospel of Matthew the Lord compares two men, one with a foundation of stone and the other with a foundation of sand. He talked about Ignoring Gods word and how it can lead to a foundation of sand. There are times where we think what we are giving our lives too will withstand the storms, only to realize amidst the storm that our foundation is doomed.
Best Group Ever
Although these words are true what I will remember most about the weekend are the relationships built with the kids. The times were they really opened up about their spiritual lives and what their doubts were. I told them plainly that I didn’t have all the answers, but I was ready to walk with them to seek those answers out. I encouraged them in the meantime to stand for the Gospel, that Christ is faithful to his promises.
