Joint Retreat . . . and back into blogging

So . . . I wouldn't call it a New Year's Resolution, perhaps more of a determination - to keep you all connected to my life and ministry and everything that's happening with InterVarsity up at Randolph-Macon!

That being said . . . there's been some awesome things happening over the last month on campus!  I'll begin with Joint Retreat.  Now, "What is Joint Retreat?" you may be asking - well, let me explain!  Picture 120 students from 4 different ministries gathering for one weekend together to learn about Loving God and Loving Others and you have a recipe for awesomeness!

(amazing musical worship!)

Students from Randolph-Macon's and VCU's InterVarsity chapters, along with Chi Alpha at VCU and West End Assembly of God's 1822 college ministry gathered in early February at Camp Willow Run to explore what it means to love god in different areas of our lives.  Saturday morning they had the opportunity to choose from several break outs that looked at loving the lost, loving the church, and loving culture.  It was tons of fun bringing together students from the various ministries (and a blast to hang out with some folks from my alma mater!).  God moved in some powerful ways that weekend, both through the worship and teaching.  It was an awesome time of growth together and partnering in ministry!
