YFC Retreat

Last Sunday the youth group at church went really well. We learnt about friendship and we made a poster about what the bible says about friendship. My Mum and her friends came along to church as they were on the island for the weekend and so afterwards we all went out for lunch together which was lovely.

On Monday I headed off with the rest of the YFC team for a 7 hour journey to Pembrokeshire in Wales for our retreat.
We had a brilliant week together, and took lots of time to just spend with God, whether that was together through singing or watching a Louie Giglio talk together, or on our own; going for a walk, reading the bible or just chilling out with God. It was so good to have a few hours each day to do this and was so refreshing spiritually.

We also ate far too much food, completed an assault course blindfolded, climbed a tree, messed around in the swimming pool (and got told off by a lifeguard!), went for a walk along the beach and found an enormous jellyfish, and ate lots and lots of cheese.
It was great opportunity to get to know the rest of the team better too, in an environment where we're not responsible for a group of young people.

Please pray this week...

- Pray for me on Tuesday as I have a very long and busy day planned, so pray for energy
- Pray for me on Thursday as I meet up with a few people to plan a new youth club that we're hoping to start soon.
