Today we will be loading up and driving from our vacation spot to the town of Trinity here in Texas. It is my honor and privilege to be the guest speaker at Chapelwood UMC's singles retreat.
This year we are going to be looking at the ways that we are radically altered by God's grace. Here is a breakdown of the sessions:
Tonight - introduction to the weekend and fun and games
Tomorrow - 3 sessions:
1) "I'm not who I was - and neither are you" - recognizing the work of grace that was begun in us when we accepted Christ
2) "Give me your eyes" - allowing our perspective to become God's perspective and stepping into mission and ministry in that place
3) "More radically altered" - recognizing that there are things that stand in the way of the work that God is doing in us and through us and letting that stuff go in creative ways to make more room for grace.
Sunday - "Remember your baptism" - a service of commitment and sending forth.
There is going to be great worship music (my friend Bobby Carr is leading the worship), lots of creative and interactive activities, a zip line, a camp fire, a catered BBQ dinner on Saturday evening, Communion, and so much more.
I will post pictures and share some of the wow moments of the retreat in a few days.
In the mean time, how is the grace of God at work in your life? Drop us a comment and let us know!
