WINTER RETREAT SERVANT STUDENTS

This was our commission at the end of Winter Retreat from our speaker, John Holland. His message on taking the light of Jesus Christ into the world in confidence, knowing that this light is unmatched. For this retreat over February 17-19, our focus for the week was on Ephesians 2-6 as we gathered in worship, in the hearing of God’s Word, in small groups, in service projects, and in fellowship. There were so many incredible ways our students bonded over the weekend.

Through this time, students and leaders were given the chance to breathe, to take a moment to rest away from the busyness of school and work and sports and extracurricular activities and the many other things that fill our lives. This holy time was recognized by many as necessary in our faith journeys to retreat and spend time deepening our relationships with one another and our relationship with God.

To send us out, a group of leaders anointed each person present. This was to empower them to go forward, to be the light, to follow Jesus, to know they are called by God, and to know that Christ makes them worthy of the goodness of God. It was a sweet weekend we all needed as we head into the rest of the school year.
