Friends in Christ,
There is an energy this time of year. Turkeys and Christmas trees compete for shelf space at our local stores. Fall and winter dance. Calendars fill. And God is as present as ever. Take a breath. Take a moment to read all that is going on through
our church, take a moment to listen to all that is going on within your soul.
There is an energy this time of year.
Peace be with you-
Jake

Why I Go To The Adult Retreat.
I look forward to Adult Retreat all year long! This is a weekend with all my friends in one place. The cherry on top is the location of Santa Fe! But honestly, I’d be fine if we met at a dirt pit in Timbuktu! I have so many “favorite” parts of adult retreat. I really like the inter-generational small groups. I think it allows for a more well-versed idea of how different we all are while providing a safe conversation arena.
I am still in my 20’s (for a few more months, I’m holding on!), and I struggle to get to Sunday School and Worship every week. (For shame, I know...) I love playing hand bells but had to take a year off this year. This could result in feeling left out but the relationships made at Adult Retreat help fill these gaps during the year! My Sunday school class does an excellent job of making it a priority to go out to eat at least once during this Adult Retreat weekend.
I’d be remiss to not mention how much I really like being Thing 1, handing out door prizes, and bringing laughter to the large group. I don’t take myself seriously, not even with a microphone and a crowd :D
And lastly I most adore my roommates, Ashley Ebeling (Thing 2), and Shannon Hampton (awesome sister)!
-Can’t wait to see everyone!
