This year's College and Young Singles Retreat was a such a blast! It was a weekend filled with unforgettable times of fun, fellowship, and most importantly, learning from God's Word! With an exciting theme of "Here I Stand," we heard four messages from the book of Philippians about what it looks like to build a life on biblical convictions. Each of the messages challenged us to live boldly for God in our daily lives, and it was incredibly encouraging to hear everyone's eagerness to apply what they learned during giveaway time, where participants got to win exclusive prizes including topical books and retreat swag! We also had lots of fun in our yearly small group competition, where each small group was tasked with adapting a biblical narrative to a theme, with many unique and creative takes on how these biblical characters stood firm in their convictions. Additionally, Class Royale was a fun time of the different classes competing with each other in friendly competition. We can't wait to see the fruit that CAYS Retreat bears in our ministry as we strive to live even more all out for God!
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
