All Saints Teen Retreat
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Daughter, Wife and I got back home from the Annual 4 day Teen Retreat last night after a 5 hour drive. It’s something I organize each year, a retreat I inherited from two great, older guys who were looking for a naïve "young" man who would carry on the tradition. 12 years ago I had lots of ideas and about 35 kids. Today I have a lot less ideas, but still about 35 kids (though their places of origin have very much changed). It’s amazing what God can do with a few Bibles and some new songs, ping pong, soccer and basket balls, especially if He sends some good weather your way. Add pizza and pasta and hamburgers and fries, ice cream and popcorn, campfires and evenings of crazy games, late nights and a full moon, mix well, and see what happens.
Long live youth ministry.
