Our church staff tries to take one overnight retreat a year. We headed to Camp Sumatanga last Monday morning to begin at 9:00. We brought in a Spiritual Director for the two days and her name is Kimberly. I've told y'all before that as I drive into camp, I always feel right at home.
We sang hymns together and we celebrated communion together. We did a lot of self-examination and we spent some time in silence.
Our boss (senior pastor) grilled burgers and dogs and conecuh and ribs and we had all of the sides to go with the meat.
S'mores were made around a fire.
We played crazy games -- toilet paper rolls with tiny horses (representing John Wesley haha!), balloons and solo cups, and dribbling tiny basketballs.
We were there from 9:00 a.m. on Monday through noon on Tuesday and it may have been the best retreat yet!
Sounds like a wonderful experience!!
