Well, VBS finished up last Thursday, and I was on a retreat with our youth this week from Tuesday until today.  The theme was “spiritual disciplines” finishing off what was a yearlong look at spiritual disciplines.  There wasn’t a whole lot of teaching.  Instead, I had them do intentional exercises (via scheduling and a workbook I made up).  Then in the evening we sort of reflected about the experiences around the campfire.  I think this was a good method to use.  I got some good feedback from those that went.  I might use a similar rhythm and format for subsequent retreats.
