Fall Retreat

Last weekend was Fall Retreat here in Utah. 



It's always so fun to see how many students arrive from around the state to fellowship and grown in theirs walks with God.  This year there were about 55 students from a variety of schools.  We didn't bring in a special speaker, the staff team did the teaching which made for a fun lineup.  Mark did a program on boat building which prompted the students to take a good look at their relationship with God and surrender their future to Him. 




They had a variety of 'found' objects that they could use to assemble their boats.  You can imagine the creative solutions!



And as they set sail to their boats outside in the reservoir, they gave something significant over to God - symbolically releasing their will to God.  Pretty cool huh?  A few of the students recalled later how this was a significant moment for them and they made some new commitments to God for their futures. 


Overall I'd say it was a pretty great weekend.
