Jr High Retreat

Okay so I am about two weeks late in writing this post but better late than never I guess. The first part of November we had the Miami Baptist Association Junior High Retreat at Kirkwood and we just had a blast. Mac Hillabush was our speaker for the weekend and he challenged us to change our world upside down for Christ. We were challenged about joining God's army and whether or not our youth groups look more like an army or a social club. The youth praise band from St. Clair Ave Baptist Church led us in worship the weekend and it was just tremendous. It was great to see about 60-65 middle schoolers and adults worshipping the Lord. If you have never seen it I encourage you to take advantage of such a great opportunity. Please feel free to add your favorite memory and remember to make time for silence so we can listen to what God is telling us.

Sr High Retreat

What a weekend we just had!! There were over 95 of us that met together for a time of worship, hearing the Word of God, playing games, and just getting to know each other. Adam Metzger was a powerful speaker and much thanks to St Clair Ave Baptist Church for providing some tremendous times before the throne of God in worship. I am sure we will not, or at least I pray not, forget what took place this past weekend and the ways we have experienced God. Please remember the commitments you made at the different stations from Saturday night and the video from Sunday morning. To watch the video again please go to www.hagnos.com or search for "Lifehouse Skit: Mission" on www.youtube.com and I am sure you will be able to find it. If not please let me know. If you want please add comments with your favorite memory from Sr High Retreat. Also keep asking yourself: What are you willing to surrender? Surrending it all for Jesus.
