“Remember that time when…”
I am a firm believer that relationships are strengthened by memorable moments together. Those stories are what creates a bond between friends. And I’m willing to admit something… not a lot of those stories happen sitting in church or on the couch. They happen during events when you are out of your normal element, and are allowed to be yourself.
That’s one of the main reasons we do things like Fall Retreat. Yes, it’s an amazing worship time. Yes, they get to hear awesome speakers. But most importantly, they get to build relationships and create memorable moments together. It’s those special times they will recall when they get back to “the real world” and remember that they are part of a community. That they are part of a group with the same unique experiences. Only at places like Fall Retreat will you see things like seniors encouraging sixth graders or students from two completely different schools comparing lives and learning that they really are not that different. It’s an opportunity for those memorable moments that create a great foundation of faith.
