Last weekend we had our annual church retreat. What a blessing it was! Steven Wells, a former team member and now a minister for Impact Church in Houston, was with us and spoke about being artists for and of God. He did a great job talking about how we are God's artwork, created by Him, and are created to be artists also -- being able to see what is true, interpret truth and live truth. Everyone was blessed and inspired! We had about 50 people there and the rains held off during the day. It did, however, catch up in the night, and the ground was soaked, leaving nice muddy grass to walk on!!!
The weekend was a special time of being filled by the word, resting, being refreshed and being in community with one another. We had a bonfire, smores, plenty of food and even a talent show! The kids actually got to swim and enjoy it. All in all, it was a special weekend and we look forward to next year and what God will do!
