The Fall Youth Group Retreat this year was a test of physical and spiritual fitness in the woods. Two days of testing was attending by Connor and Sonja accompanied by Jozsef as a leader.
The kids tent camped in the woods, were awakened by reveille (though, sadly, they did not end the day with taps), and ran a series of obstacle courses designed by a military veteran who attends our church.
Through rain, mud, and trial the children learned to lean into community and God. The teens and leaders learned about God, each other, and themselves while they had fun and established or deepened friendships.
Though they came home wet and muddy, they were smiling ear to ear. We are thankful that they had they opportunity to go on retreat this year. :-)
