6 yrs ago, at a Sunday a.m. service, while sitting in the amphitheater on our church property, God and i had a conversation... " This property is really beautiful...we do not get together enough as a community of believers... we should get together and have a church retreat... financially not everyone would be able to go...it's so pretty here...we do have really beautiful grounds, we are a fortunate church... wait!
We Could Do It Here!...have a camp out here...
a Feast of Tents!"
This weekend we participated in our 5th Feast of Tents!
Despite the rain, many camped out and shared sweet community!
This years theme was Kingdom Come. It is our desire to be part of God's Kingdom, for His kingdom to come in each of us, in our homes, and in our church.

ReplyDeleteWow this looks like so much fun! What a great way to spend some time with your church family and build a real sense of community. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm so sorry it rained!
ReplyDeleteA 13 year old Feaster of Tenter said, "What I liked is that there was lots of time to just have a conversation. That way, you get to know people." The 7 year old came home with a list of 11 new people she'd met, reciting every name. And the 10 year old counted 2 brand new friends. I say, Thanks for all those who play a part in helping the Body get to BE the Body!
