The Presbytery of Scioto Valley's Confirmation Youth Retreat is this weekend. Starting Friday evening and lasting until 11am on Sunday (Valentine's Day), 76 youth, 13 adults, and some other folks will be having a good time in the winter wonderland that I am hoping Camp Akita (Logan, OH) will be.This is my 2nd year helping lead the retreat and it is a lot of work. Crossing the Ts and dotting the Is can be a mountain of work for someone who likes ideas rather than details. But I enjoy it. This year's theme is Be Mine, inspired by those awful candy hearts, we will be looking at what a God who loves us means for us and the world. My good friends, Rob & Karen Jackson (both local PCUSA pastors) will be providing the message and a host of presbytery pastors will be leading the small groups. I know that it is going to be awesome.
In the remaining hours leading up to kickoff at 7pm on Friday I have a host of errands to run. I need supplies ranging from Balloons and Dice to Brownie Bites and maybe, if I can find them, a pair of winter boots. My trusty pair are broken and need of life-saving repair.
Because this retreat runs until Sunday I will not be here for Worship. Hope it is a good weekend for you and I will fill you in on how it went.
