Monday Madness!

Hello Church!

Today was a little wild! We began our morning with a big Kendall-Dexter-prepared breakfast and then went to our first morning worship service of the conference. We loved the new forms of worship and liturgy reading that we saw this morning! Next, before and after lunch, we broke into our small groups. Some of us were pretty nervous about going to small groups, because we don't entirely know our way around Montreat yet and because we were going to be in groups with no one else from our church. Despite those fears, we all made new friends from other churches! Some of them will be joining us for lunch tomorrow at our house. Other highlights from our day include rock hopping along the creek, having a watermelon seed spitting contest from the front porch (Clay and Daniel tied), having a photo scavenger hunt (see photos below!) around the Montreat campus, eating ice cream together at the Huckleberry, lamenting with George (AKA Geo) that he left his fishing pole at home, and dodging raindrops and scary lightning together after evening worship. We thank you for your continued prayers as we grow and draw closer in this magical place this week. 

With Love,

Isabelle Campbell
