a spectacular weekend



This is a picture of our teens garbed in super hero costumes and posing on the rocky beach just North of Cape Cod, MA. We arrived Friday and returned Sunday from a wonderful youth retreat. God honored the prayers and preparations and blessed us with his presence on the weekend. We had a blast living in this amazing 3 story house with 10 bedrooms and 6.5 baths. There was a wood burning stove in the living room and fireplace in the dinning room, both of which helped keep the house nice and cozy. We spent time playing games, hanging out, cooking meals, swimming (yes, I know it was crazy) and enjoying each other's company. The speaker for the wekend was a good friend of mine from seminary and he did an excellent job. We met for worship and teaching 4 times through the weekend, concluding our time together with a worship service Sunday morning. If you happen to be on facebook you'll see all sorts of pictures connected to this retreat. Hillary was a huge help as she worked hard in a variety of ways despite being 32 weeks pregnant - Wow - she is a trooper! In this final picture you can see some of those gathered together for Sunday morning worship.
