High School Natural Bridge Retreat

By Kristen White

   

Sometimes we have to go away for awhile in the quietness of nature to really get close to God again.  I thought that's what I had done this past weekend on our annual high school retreat to Natural Bridge …but then I remembered the big group of loud and crazy high school students that made the trip with me, and I realized it really wasn't so quiet!  Nevertheless, I think all of us had a great trip.  From fun games to amazing worship, and from record heat to pouring rain, this weekend was definitely worth it all.
   
The Natural Bridge retreat is a wonderful time for the high school students to really get close to one another, and to God.  And I think this weekend both of those connections were made.  Because a good part of the weekend was student lead, we all had the chance to work together.  We played team games (which included my team getting lost in a cave for a good half hour!), and had a team song/dance competition on Saturday night.  My favorite parts of the weekend, however, were the devotions and worship times we all got to
share while on the retreat.  You should've heard our voices with the acoustic guitar out there by our camp during worship time!  It was like God had come down right among us and was listening there in the trees…and I have no doubt that He really was.  This weekend was an amazing experience for me personally, and I'm pretty sure everyone else that came to Natural Bridge '07 will gladly agree.
