Teen retreat
Thursday, October 26th, 2006
It’s time for our yearly All Saints Teenage Retreat in beautiful Ardêche, France. Even though it’s not quite All Saints Day and even though I’m not a teenager, we’ll be attending for the 15th time. This is only my ninth time to direct it. And there is a great group of workers who support this ministry.
Many of our youth don’t have youth groups in their local assemblies. For example, our kids are the only ones their age at church. So contact with youth from other cities is essential, in addition to the Bible Groups they attend at the local schools.
Our theme this year is the book of James. We’ll talk about the tongue, hypocrisy, helping those in need… The discussion groups always start slow, but once they get going, there is no stopping them. And the games. They love the games. My brother, the youth minister, gave me a couple of good ones last night that I can’t wait to try.
Thanks for dropping by. And if your in Ardêche, don’t hesitate coming to see us. The food is excellent, the communion divine.
