Worship at the Northwoods

This morning we were very excited because it was our first Sunday in the Northwoods. We put on skirts and the guys put on suits. It felt a little weird because we had gotten used to wearing pants here. We had a lot of sharing by the lake. Pretty soon it started raining. So we moved indoors to continue our service. Rowan gave a sermon on faith. God was with us and a lot of people were touched by the service. When we had communion Wes asked us to examine ourselves to see if we had sinned against God or other people. He wanted us to take care of it so that we could partake with pure hearts. A lot of people were crying. Before lunch we took team and group pictures with interesting poses. We are the team of princesses, so we took a picture beside our princess carriage.

After lunch we rested a little bit. We had a scavenger hunt and divided up the list. Each person was responsible for finding certain items. We had to use creativity to find them. For “something living” we used the Bible. For “something we all dislike” we used hair from the drain, and for “something that reminds us of home” we used rice. We got 23 out of 24 points. After the game we ate dinner, then went to our favorite spot, the tower, for another worship service. The sun hadn’t gone down yet. It was a worshipful atmosphere. Several people gave their testimonies. The day came to a beautiful close.
