Be Real Highlights

I thank God for the times we have in our student ministry to get away from our daily routines. Here are the highlights.

- Our leaders. I am so blessed to serve alongside these people! It was awesome watching them do ministry.
- The theme of Be Real really struck a cord in the hearts of our students.
- The facility. It's simply amazing. Crooked Creek Ranch. Young Life knows how to build a camp.
- Networking with other youth workers in our district.
- Participating in and leading a session on Real Family "Divorce"- It was a powerful time of listening to the stories of students and drawing out the realities of what it's like to live in a home where your parents are divorced.
- The senior dinner at Smokin Joe's BBQ. Great time! Downside - the key to the van wouldn't open the door. No clue. AAA opened us up on Sunday before so we could get the van home.
- Seeing our students interact with the parable of the soils.
- Great food.
- Sunshine all weekend.
- One of our SGC teams took 2nd in the dodgeball tourney.

Finally, knowing that this weekend will be a spiritual marker for several of our students as they reflect back on their lives in our high school ministry.
