Pinebrook Winter Retreat: Friday, Feb. 1- Sunday, Feb. 3 was a very cold, but a great time had by all!! Once again Clifford clamored and clanged up the mountains to Stroudsburg, PA and delivered 23 of us at the retreat. There was a much smaller group at Pinebrook this year, approximately 90 people, so we shared the retreat with another group.
Pastor Will Snyder from The Forks Church travelled with us, and was the Speaker for the weekend. He did an awesome job and made a real connection with the kids. His talks on Christ and the Church reached out to all of us.
Did I mention that it was cold? It was COLD!! There was only a dusting of snow on the tubing hill and a small patch of ice on the lower part of the hill that a few of us tried tubing on, but it wasn't a big hit. The biggest hit of the free time on Saturday was the indoor heated pool and avid game of Taboo between, Ms. Glady, Mr. Walt, Ms. Shelly, Emily, Marissa, Kristen, and Jen (of which Ms. Glady and Ms. Shelly won even after joining the game an hour after it started!)
Poor old Clifford...guess he didn't like sitting neglected and freezing for two days, because he refused to start on Sunday when it was time to load him up and head home. We greatly appreciate the help of the man who came down and worked for over 20 minutes to get him jump started, and we were only 1/2 later than scheduled getting home!!
Pictures from the weekend are posted on the right!
