Youth Group Fall Retreat
We had an amazing time at Camp Grier this past weekend! It was full of games (News Report was a big hit!), program (based on The Tree that Survived Winter), hiking, boating (only one overturned canoe - thanks to my child), swimming to the ladder, singing, raking, eating, star-gazing and a bit of rest and reflection, and most importantly, reconnecting with ourselves, nature, God and others.
Thanks to all who came and supported this trip – wouldn’t be anything without y’all! Thanks! Shea Chambers
