Morley Update 2010 #23

Everyone,

We got back yesterday from our spring retreat. Our fall retreat was a marathon of all day meetings done locally. This retreat was at a hotel about 2 1/2 hours away on the island of Evia which is connected to the mainland of Greece by a bridge. The main purpose of this retreat was to rest and refresh us. We spent the mornings in a teaching time by George Adam, a local greek pastor who challenged, convicted and encouraged us. We had some meeting times with the team to talk about what we were learning but for the most part left "business" behind. Our afternoons were free and we spent the evenings playing games and enjoying each others company. We said "goodbye" to the two families who are leaving and "welcome" to a new teammate, Wendy, who just arrived. We sat around the pool or around tables and talked about everything from what books we are reading to "how can we really let the Spirit of God lead in our lives". We ate wonderful food (that we didn't have to cook), we took naps and wandered the grounds taking photos. We reconnected with people that we see almost every day but never really spend time with. We chatted with the moms who have little ones or home school their older ones and can't be down at the ARC during the week. Families, who are often running different directions, swam together and played with their kids. We laughed (often) we cried (occasionally) and we grew closer. We came home sun drenched, relaxed and ready to get back to work.
