Didn't know we could, but we did...

It's been an "all hands on deck," the ship is going down, and we don't know how to sail, by the way, kind of year, but, Wow!, I am inspired by this team of people that learned how to sail in the middle of this unprecedented storm.

Every "normal" thing happened this year virtually: small groups, one-on-ones, missions trips, large group and more. 

Some "normal" things happened in person, masked, outside, with temperature checks and social distanced: fall retreat, men's and women's retreat, camping trips, student leader retreat and more.

To say I'm impressed by this team is a major understatement. 

We did it! 

We learned how to sail, guys!!! 

We limped our way across the ocean (if you can limp in a boat) and we are almost docked (or however sailors say they have arrived.) 

Hallelujah!

(Shout out to Daran Lemon, Tyler Wrocklage, Abby Rasbach, Karen Velasco, Adam Cordeiro, Lana Casper, Danica Martinez, our fabulous student leaders and our incredible volunteer staff!)
