EPIC Weekend in Black Butte

This past weekend was a fabulous one.  The girls of our EPIC youth group headed to Black Butte where a family in our church owns a huge condo.  It was a beautiful home full of amazing western decor, super comfortable leather reclining couches, and beautiful views.

We had 11 girls, 4 women leaders, 3 baby boys, 1 little girl and 1 husband of a leader there to cook and do dishes the whole weekend.  What a great blessing to not have to worry about food or cleaning and just be able to invest in the girls while we were there.

Our theme for the week was 1 Timothy 4:12, "Let no one look down on you because you are young, but be an example to believers in speech, life, faith, love and purity."  Kristen, Melissa, Jan, Emily and I each took one of those 5 ways to be an example in and provided a devotional for it.  Melissa also played the guitar for our worship together.



We had so much yummy food, celebrated Miranda's birthday, studied God's Word, went for a hike, went shopping, went swimming, played tennis, played cards and team games, laughed a ton, slept a little and just really enjoyed hanging out together and learning how to be better examples of Christ to others.











Jonah did amazing, except for getting up a few times at night. 

I came home exhausted physically but refreshed spiriually.  It is seriously a privilege to work with these girls and see God work in and through them.  And I have the greatest women to minister alongside, it was a blast.

While I was gone, Peter took great care of Benjamin.  They went to the park, watched a Civil War reenactment, saw lots of horses, played outside, went plant shopping, took long naps, and ate leftovers.  I missed my boys but I knew they were getting along just fine.

Thank you God for this group of young ladies, we are praying for God doing great things in you this summer!
