SoulNet Retreat - The End

It's Sunday evening and to all intents and purposes the retreat is over. We've still got tonight and tomorrow, so we'll probably use the pool again, but the teaching and worship events have finished.

I've had a blast! This was my first First-hand Soul Survivor experience and I've loved it! I thought I would - my early Christian life has been full of their worship, so it's to be expected. I feel refreshed, a new love for Jesus and a fresh sense of calling. I do feel a little down, but I think it's tiredness and the knowledge that there's no session tonight.

I am very excited about getting home though - go Jesus!

SoulNet Retreat - The Beginning

We've ventured up the motorway, through snow, sleet and rain to refresh ourselves at Soul Survivors SoulNet Retreat 2009. We've just fiished the first session and it was brilliant! It was really good to enjoy some worship together and spend some time with God. Mike was very entertaining and I'm really looking forward to tomorrows session.

There were of course the inevitable questions -what is the purpose of the weekend, what does God want for each of us and, most importantly, what is the fascination with stupid hats? Seriously I mean what are they for? It certainly wasn't to keep us all warm!

I also noticed something else - youth worky types love the iPhone. There must be the highest density of iPhones in that room... Several of which I saw Facebooking this very evening!

Roll on tomorrows sessions.

Snow Baby!

Today's a snow day, yay! We've been to the duck pond to make snow men and throw snow at Beckie. Zach got a snowball full in the face and following a short, very nervous, wait he laughed heartily! Good times! I suppose I should do some work really.
