Fall Retreat


I was away this weekend at a fall retreat for our youth. Thanks so much to all of you who joined us there as adult volunteers.

Jon's teaching was great, and Garrison Band led us in worship. They played a bunch of Passion '05 stuff, which was cool with me.

Our students made an awesome video mimicking MTV's Next, but rather than a dating show it was simply a girl looking for happiness. They did a phenomenal job.

I didn't get much sleep this past weekend, but I had a great time! The weather was awesome -- it was nice and sunny during the day, and at night it cooled down enough to have a sweet bonfire. Yay for s'mores.

Oh yeah, middle school guys were up till like 4 a.m. the first night. I was not a happy camper. They did better the 2nd night, though, fortunately.

The girls stayed up as well. It was fun, but definitely tiresome. Thanks for allowing me to join in the fun!

Sounds like a great trip. Do you have a copy of that video you could send me? I'd love to see/use it. Thanks.
