We had a great time this weekend at Camp Don-Lee, despite the rain, on the Senior High Presbytery retreat. 15 youth and 3 adults attended the retreat, which was themed "On the Way." It was focused on the story of God calling Moses to lead his people out of Egypt, and broadly related that story to how God calls us and leads us down different paths and experiences in our lives. The keynote speaker, Rev. Peter Hausmann, a former pastor, now a builder doing commercial contruction in Durham, related his unique life calling into the ministry, and then from there into his childhood passion of building. From "Cars" to "Lord of the Rings" he used interesting movie clips, as well as various skits, performed by the awesome Youth Council, to relate his message to the youth.
Upcoming Events: - This weekend, Nov. 4th is Ropes Course. Bring your money ($25) and forms and wear appropriate clothing. Andy should have already heard from you if you are going.
- Next regular meeting is Nov. 11th, with a program led by Lynn.
- Nov. 17th is our next service opportunity (and last chance to qualify for ski trip!) at the NC Food Bank of Durham. Youth will need to fill out the volunteer form (which will be sent via email and handed out at the Nov 11th meeting), have parents sign them, and bring them with them.
