FR09 Recap: What/Who do you reflect?


Fall Retreat 2009 was an incredible weekend! We had 3 canoes tip and were told that no group in the last 3 months have tipped a canoe. I rode a horse which I will not do for a long long time (there's a twitpic if you follow my twitter). We had incredible times of worship and teaching along with some times of real, genuine community. Jeff Mangum taught about Lordship and that it is in our obedience that we reflect Christ to the world around us. I was able to follow his message in challenging students to really think about who they reflect individually, but also who we reflect as a community of believers. Jeff and I both emphasized the importance of community and how desperately we need each other when we seek to be obedient to the calling of God in our lives. As you think about your life, who/what would the world around you say that you reflect? Are you surrounded in community with those who challenge and encourage you in your obedience to Christ?
