Here we go again!
Taking nineteen 6th graders on retreat (many for their first overnighter away from family)- oh the joy of sleeping on the floor, listening to giggles in the dark, boys telling tall tales about their prowess at everything (especially bodily noises), and the wonder of waking these kiddos up at 6:30am on a Sunday morning. Ha!
Pray for us!
We've got much fun to accomplish with Pastor Todd as he leads games in the afternoon, plenty of food to eat (which will be purchased tomorrow morning), and lots of discussion about what is worship, why we do it?, what makes worship worship and not something else, and then- the crowning moments are our two Sunday morning worship services. One a Roman Catholic mass and the other a two hour African American worship service.
Yes- that is right these young people will be in worship for over 3 hours on Sunday.
And it will do them much good!
Can I say, pray for us, again?
We will all need naps on Sunday afternoon, but I trust we will draw closer together as a group; we will learn more about worship; and hopefully as we worship we will experience the Living Presence of God.
