Youth Pastors Chris and Jessie Brooks took a group of Crossroads teens for a quick getaway at Lake Tholocco earlier this week. Today's post gives Chris some space to talk about a a few of the things he brought back. - Gene
Sunday the teens from Highway 68 and the Underground went out to Lake Tholocco for a 3-day retreat called Blank Canvas. It was incredible!! Here were some of the awesome things that happened this weekend!
- Swimming was a blast! water-slides, and a giant floating trampoline to jump on (and off) of!
- Road (and raced) Kayaks and paddle boats!
- Battle-royale in the woods!!! we took waterguns into the woods and played games of Capture-the-flag, VIP, and attack-defend.
- Early monday morning, we went on a 3.5 mile hike, followed by a morning devotional at the end of the hike by the lake. Beautiful backdrop for a conversation about our heavenly Father.
- Campfire at night, roasting hotdogs and making smores and telling stories! doesn't get much better than that .
- We learned about just how real our relationship with God can be by keeping journals about it, and reading the journal of one man's encounter with God. His name was David, and The journal tracking His ongoing relationship with His Father was the Psalms.
- Best thing of all- forging positive friendships! Finally- discovering that we, at Crossroads, do indeed have the coolest teens on the planet!!
