"Joyful Noise" High School Retreat



This weekend was our High School retreat in Newport. The retreat was called, "Joyful Noise" and was all about the psalms in the Bible. Not only did we learn about David and the psalms he wrote, we also learned how prayer can come in many forms including music, adoration, praise, traditional prayer, reflection and meditation. Each psalm in the Bible expresses different emotions and reflect the joys and struggles we face today. Check back for a slideshow of pics from the retreat. In the meantime, here are a few videos of some prayers in rap forms. Enjoy!





ICE Middle School Retreat

Howdy!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted! But that's because there has been a lot going on in our program lately. Last weekend we were in Newport for the High School Retreat (blog article soon to come) and the weekend before that was our middle school night retreat.

ICE Middle School Retreat



Check out some pics from our awesome middle school retreat. The theme was ICE, which stands for Illuminating Christ Everyday. We learned all about what it means to shine our light for others and be a witness of Christ to the world. We played fun games, heard some cool talks from the leaders, had small groups, pizza, snacks and made new friends. Thanks to all the teens that went! I had a blast!!!
