Retreat Reflection, Get Appreciated

Retreat Reflection
I know not all of your teens were able to make it this past weekend but I wanted to say a few things about our time together.  Without boring you with the details, this retreat was different than most in that it required the teens to feed themselves spiritually instead of sitting and being fed.  I was hesitant to how this would go over because this would require them to be disciplined, but let me just say I was blown away with the way they responded and actually spent what equated to hours of study and reflection.  I feel confident they were pushed to think about things on their own and work through some questions as they evaluated their walk with Christ.  On a side note, their obedience on being where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there and cleaning what they were assigned to clean, might have been the best I've ever seen.  That may seem trivial but I think it speaks loudly to their maturity and respect.  I am very proud of these teens and I just wanted you to know you should be too.

Parent Appreciation Night
This Sunday night at 6:00pm, we will gather in the CVA for Parent Appreciation Night.  This is simply going to be an evening of food, fun and a time for your kids to focus some appreciation your way.  It will be a very casual setting and dinner will be served.  I really do hope your family will be able to be there.
