Youth Retreat Update

We've had a great day at the Chapel Hill Baptist Church youth retreat in St. George Island, Florida. We got underway with breakfast followed by each one having a personal quiet time to study. I preached our morning worship service (see photo) in a meeting room overlooking the St. George Bay. After the service the youth answered questions about the Bible passage in the sermon (see photo). An exploratory walk along the shoreline and a nearby dock provided a lot of things for discussion (see photo).




After lunch it was time for a trip to the beach and then some free time. The boys took full advantage of their free time by doing a little fishing. Before supper we watched some really cool Christian videos on YouTube. I'll post some of these over the next few days. One of the videos was produced by one of the boys on our retreat. You can view the video below.



During our evening worship service we studied about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ and how this relates to Jesus' statement in John 14:6.

A game of Capture the Flag on the grounds of St. George Island Christian Retreat Center lasted until dark. Everyone then came in to watch the movie Facing The Giants with popcorn. 8-)

Tomorrow we will have one last Bible study after breakfast and do a little cleanup at the retreat center. It will then be time to head back to Tallahassee. I'll post a final update late tomorrow.
