Williamsburg Trip

Back in Time

This week, we went to Williamsburg, VA

for our annual staff/student retreat.

What an amazing three days we had experiencing the sights and sounds of historic Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown.

We were able to go back in time through battlefields, settlements and wetlands. Demonstrations of muskets, glass blowing and archaeological digs brought history back to life for all of us. This area is such a treasure for connection to our American roots.

We were thankful that we were able to experience all the laughter and lessons God planned for us to share. Pastor John challenged us every morning during group devotions to soar like eagles and allow God to stir up our nests. Discomfort breeds growth. It was a powerful word for our students to embrace.

It was a great week of relational connections and meaning moments together. Williamsburg will certainly be a top pick for next year's retreat destination.

Thanks for your prayers for our travels and well-being. We returned back on campus safe and sound.
