Today we had our day away. We started the day with devotion time. We learned how to keep filling our cups. The students each wrote a letter to themselves. They will receive these letters in the mail within a few weeks. They were encouraged to write about how the week went, what they learned, how did this week make them feel, and how do they want their lives to look different than it did before this week.
We went for a float down the Muskegon River. This was a great time. We were able to see geese, turtles, and God's nature in general. Although it was a little dreary and cold, we still had a lot of fun. We went to McDonalds for some hot chocolate and back to the church.
Our night dinner was an emotional goodbye. We were able to pass out paper hearts to each other and tell one another about how each person had an impact on the other. This was an amazing moment to see the community that was formed in just one week. This week started out as several groups of churches to be one body of Christ. We were able to have a significant impact on each other here this week. It is a week that we will always remember.
There was a volleyball tournament last night and tonight. The last game was a group of leaders vs a group of students. It was a close game, but at the end the students won.
Enjoy some of the pictures of the day.
