Retreat!

I'll be MIA tomorrow and Wednesday because our staff is headed to Pine Cove for a two-day retreat. This is a highlight of my year, because it's a chance to connect on a deeper level with several of our staff members and their spouses. It's virtually impossible to make those kinds of connections during a regular schedule - you have to get away. 

We made a decision a year or so ago that we were going to stop using retreats for work or planning purposes. We've got a perfectly good conference room here at the church that works for most of our work and planning. These retreats are primarily about connection and relationship-building, especially since we bring our spouses.  We need to maximize that opportunity. 

We'll spend some time praying for each other, spend some time playing together, and a lot of time eating together. It's going to be a great time. Wish you could be there!
