Hi all,
The cold, wintery weather has
officially set in. This is the first blog of many that I’ll be writing this
year while there’s snow on the ground.
The past two weekends I had the
opportunity to hang out with COB youth for weekend retreats and conferences.
Last weekend Hannah and I served as female youth advisors for the district fall
retreat at Highland Ave. It was nice to get to know some of the youth from our
new church and the rest of the district, even if they thought we were also
youth all weekend. :) We volunteered at the Northern Illinois Food Bank, played lots of games, ate
pizza, and hung out together.

This weekend Ben, Kristen, Hannah,
and I traveled to Camp Mack for Powerhouse/Regional Youth Conference. There
were lots of shameless plugs for BVS, workcamps, and CCS. I was the female advisor from Highland
Ave. for the weekend and loved hanging out with the youth and other advisors-
playing games and worshipping. I also learned how to play the card game Eucher,
which I thoroughly enjoyed! It was wonderful to be able to visit a Brethren
camp that I hadn’t been to yet.

And
now, I’m back home in Elgin. But, not for long!
Blessings,
Theresa
