  Every team leader had a table to decorate in a certain themed color.  Laura’s color was PINK   She of course threw in some ice cream…

   

   

  Holly playin’ the drum thing.  She had to leave early *sniff sniff* but was a worship leader while she was there.

  Us 3 girls were in charge of the games for the retreat!!  Whoohoo.  Here we’re playin’ a game we learned at CCYC.   We had some awesome games but because we were so involved in them, we don’t have any pictures…we’ll get some of those later from a friend or something.

  Now time for some of the last night pictures…the moms always take the last night to put together a special evening for the girls.

  See the gloves Laura’s wearin’?  Those were a gift to all the girls on the first night.  The lady who spoke talked about how a glove can’t do anything without a hand inside.  The gloves are a reminder to us that God must fill us for anything to be accomplished.

  

  We had a BEAUTIFUL banquet table with the most yummy yummy food!  The theme was WARRIOR PRINCESS…and we just happened to find our Knight in Shinning Armor

  

   

  

  After the dinner, a special ceremony, and worship time, we had some colonial dancing!  It was a TON of fun and such a work out!  This is us having our dessert. 

  

  The ever present snack table!

  

  There were so many butterflies around there…

  

   

  The theme for this retreat was Freedom in Christ.  It was a powerful few days and so many girls were able to recognize and renounce lies while putting truth in it’s place. 

   

  Most of the team leaders had some testimonies that they were asked to share in different sessions, and so Laura was praying a lot about that.  A lot of girls said they were helped by her testimony on design!!  Just praise to God for the things he showed to us, and the way He blessed our time there.  The whole retreat went so well and we were so happy that Emilee came with us!

   

  Galatians 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
