Sorry for all of you that couldn't make it - but we had an amazing retreat! The people were great, the food was great, the setting was great, and... the speaker was great.

Mary-Lee who is planting house/simple churches in YaleTown did a fantastic job bringing some great stuff about having "Missionary Spirits".

What does it mean to view our city through the lenses of a missionary?

THe retreat

I really enjoyed the retreat. I was relieved part way through as I remembered that the theme was resting -I could even do that at the playground. I felt really blessed by the people who cared for our kids, during the sessions and spontaneously in the playground etc. Thanks for your fresh way of relating to our little ones. It was inspiring to me and so good for our kids.

Some highlights for me:

-Seeing and being with sweet friends and making new ones.
-An uphill walk in the leaves with friends
-A session with Mary-Lee during which I left with kids before it was over. I came back to about an hour of spontaneous prayer blessing of people.
-Other people lovin on the kids, in a most inspiring way.
-Todd helping us carry plates every meal.
-Mary- Lee inspiring us with her Spirit filled words.

...

The list goes on...

Love you all.
