College Life Fall Retreat

Always one of the highlights of the year, a couple weekends ago we took the students away to Lake Tahoe to spend time with the Lord, with one another, and just be refreshed. It turned out to feel more like a winter retreat than a fall one with the lows around 20 degrees and the highs in the upper 30s. Still on our morning car rally/scavenger hunt 10 of them jumped in Lake Tahoe with their clothes on. :) Gotta love college students!

We spent time in Philippians 2 over the weekend and it was a really good reminder about the kind of attitude the Lord desires for us to have, and how that attitude of humility and service to one another is really the way that we become a community that loves and supports one another, and is then able to accomplish the mission we've been given to be lights in the world. I'm praying that we all will be reminded of these lessons in the weeks and months to come.
