Here we are, day 2 on the Year 9 Retreat and it is just fantastic. Right now, Cody is talking to us about the parable of the Lost Sheep and the choices that we make in life. Sheep always know the voice of their shepherd and that is our choice to listen to the voice of God calling us and talking to us! Find the good in life even when bad things are thrown at us.

We watched a video reflection about a surfer called Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm after being bitten by a shark but she made a choice to still serve God and use the gift of surfing he has given her even if she has a disability.

Earlier today we played an epic game called Capture the Flag. We all got really muddy and it was loads of fun but it was totally worth it. It was really a brilliant game!
