The Blast Retreat was a BLAST!!

Here are some pictures from our Blast Retreat this past weekend. Enjoy! Campers, don't forget what God showed you on this retreat about the relationships you have and the relationship(s) you need to have. Keep investing in your relationship with God (Keeping It Real) and you will indeed be a SURVIVOR-N-CHRIST!



Marcus would like copies of everyone's camp pictures. Please bring him a disk or thumb drive with copies of your Blast photos. Thank!

things to ponder

"Confession is probably the most neglected area in prayer today." --- Bill Hybels

"I've never been closer to God my whole life than when I was in pain!" (This is Craig Groeschel's grandma's response of what she thought about the seventy-two hours she was on the bathroom floor after her stroke till someone found her)
