The OC

I’ve enjoyed the trip to each of the Ocean City conferences, but this weekend has been one of the best. This time, only 7th graders attended. It wasn’t by design, but I’m glad it worked out the way it did. During our room devotions on Friday night, most of the students agreed that they thought that it was going to be boring, preachy and full of Bible stories. The consensus ran from tonight was “Awesome” to “It was so cool, I want to come every year.”

Then, Saturday morning we listened to the story of Rachel Scott. Many of the students were touched, including one of ours; it’s powerful when God moves, and it was a morning that will hold a lot of meaning to him.

Some of the best memories will be the Video Scavenger Hunt - including Stealth Discos, singing to strangers and a few other twists. My personal favorite was the song inspired by the eagle. All in all it was a great weekend and I look forward to going with the Senior High in a few months.
