Tween Retreat 2010

I have been very busy, and recovering from VBS and the Tween retreat, so I have not been keeping up on the blog.
God is awesome!! Both events went very smoothly, and as the Bible says those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength, they will rise up with wings like eagles. (Isaiah 40:31). I certainly could not have gotten everything done in my own strength! On the retreat we witnessed God's majesty through the beauty of his creation, and we got to hike to hell and back (Bumpass Hell). It was quite an experience! We even had our own small forest fire Saturday night, to add to the excitement. And there is nothing like playing in the snow during a hot summer hike!

This was the shirt we bought for the retreat. Click on the picture to view larger. I tried to make the J12 logo on the hats look like a sun to match.

We had an awesome retreat!

The staff all worked very well together, God's masterpiece around us was perfect, and everyone had fun. For more details about the retreat, click on the link on the left hand side of the page for In His Love. Teresa got some amazing insight while on the retreat that she put on her blog. Look at her August entries.
























So many pictures, so little time!!

Finished the hats for the tween retreat!!

We received a grant from the Lassen Parks Foundation that is entirely paying for our retreat this year! It should be a lot of fun. We are going to use the rocks we made for VBS to build an alter, just like in Genesis...
