Wilderness Retreat

Over this past weekend most of us were on the wilderness retreat. Lets talk about it and share our memories and experiences with everyone. What was your favorite part of the wilderness retreat? What was most memorable part for you? Did you make any new friends over the weekend or get to know someone that you kind of knew before better? Over the weekend we also talked about the different spiritual disciplines. Which one did you find to be the most helpful to you in your walk with God? Were there any that you didn't think were helpful? What part of the retreat stretched you the most if at all? I know we talked about all of this in class on Monday, but I wanted to give everyone a chance to share their experience and thoughts since not everyone was able to in class.

We have just finished our MSO Event!  We have received quite a bit of positive feedback from the majority of admissions people that were in charge.  However, these people did not necessarily see all that went on behind the scenes.  What was the most significant thing you learned while interacting with a large group of middle school kids?  What did you have to adapt?  Were there aspects of your planning that were flawed or missing entirely?  Did you feel that you were intentional about engaging students who seemed uninterested or not involved?  How did your team do with managing your own team of volunteers? Also, who was the most awesome person on your crew and why?
