Day 2

Just got back from Skiing.....Praise the Lord no major injury! Didnt get any push back on the mandatory helmet rule. The students are definitely getting tired! I think God has already begun to do a new thing in many student's lives!

Tonight is worship and Communion!

Day 1 just keeps on rolling

Its been a full first day of One Life and its not even close to being over. The Yupper Olympics was a hit followed by a afternoon of broomball and other fun activities. Iron River (clearly the Home Team) pulled a convincing yet close 1-0 victory over the rival Winnetka Covenant Church.

Dinner tonight was the ever famous Point Pizza! I appreciate the effort the kitchen staff put into top notch food here at Point!

Students as they finish up dinner are working on their Public service announcement for the variety show which should be quite entertaining!

More to Come

One Life in review

Students and Leaders we want to here about One Life! What was your experience like? What did you learn? Where did you see Jesus? What did God reveal to you this weekend? (Leave a comment and let us praise God with you)

Friday

And here we are 12:3opm on a Friday afternoon, putting the finishing touches on the weekend. This weekend didnt turn out quite like I had planned. The events of tuesday afternoon and my own personal connections with a country already in dire straits has made preparation for this weekend at times difficult. This weekend is about what God reveals through his Word into the lives of students. This weekend is about living into the potential that God has for each of us. As the events taking place in Haiti unfold, may that be a background and a reminder that we need God in our lives and that we desire that he reveals himself to us!

Pray this weekend for Students...for their ability to open up and hear the Word spoken into their lives

Pray this weekend that God shows up in Mighty ways

Pray this weekend that God comfort his people both in the UP of Michigan and in the Streets of Haiti!

One Life 2010

It is hard to believe but a year has passed and we are coming up on the 2010 version of the One Life Retreats.

Three words guide our theme and direction for the weekend

Reveal: God is in the business of telling us who he is and in the process we find out who we really are!

Live: The life of the believer is a life LIVED in relationship with this God!

Desire: The God that created us to live in relationship with Him develops a desire in us to pursue Him!

Our Prayer for students is that they understand this God and fall in love with him!

This Blog is devoted to Students and leaders to share thoughts and experiences from the weekend as we all pursue One Life!
