Our Jr. High/High Schoolers had a great time up at Pine Mountain this past weekend on our first official Crossroads Foundation Retreat!
I was able to go up on Saturday and lead worship for the morning and evening sessions, and it was a tremendous time of worshiping through song.
The speaker, Ryan Rumbley of Pine Mountain Community Church, challenged the kids with messages focused on pursuing spiritual growth above social comfort. He taught them that God has a purpose and a plan for each of their lives, and they have a place to fill in the church as "bricks" being built upon other bricks, and providing foundation for other bricks all around them.
They occupied the afternoon time with paint-balling, hiking, playing soccer, or just hanging out.
All in all, it was a great trip, and I think the kids were challenged to pursue growth in the Lord above their own social status/comfort.
So be sure to keep them accountable, and ask them what they learned at camp, and how they're applying it in their lives.
