Winter/Spring Retreat

Sorry we have been so bad at keeping up with the blog lately! Two weekends ago we had a winter (felt more like spring) retreat down in Charleston. About 40 students came with us & we learned about "Making History" and how we can either write history, or be written by history. Our speaker talked about how we, as Christians, are called to make history as witnesses for Christ on this earth. We had a great time, our students really connected & the weather couldn't have been more perfect. On our free afternoon some played paintball, while others of us just strolled around downtown Charleston. Enjoy the pictures!

This is just before the dodgeball game. Ben is explaining the instructions (or destructions!). Shortly after they began playing, one guy went to throw a ball (& the guys throw the balls REALLY hard) & his forearm landed on another guy's nose...and it broke--his nose that is!

These are some of the girls playing it safe & watching the dodgeball game from a safe distance away.

This is a pole right in front of the market in Charleston. Those colorful little patches is everyone's chewed up gum. Pretty gross if you ask me, but colorful nonetheless.

The pretty fountain at the battery.

The pretty fountain hiding behind the pretty girls.

It was such a beautiful day!
