We made it to MONTREAT!

Isaiah 43:2a states 'I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.'

Montreat has officially started as of last night! This year's theme is "In These Waters." It is a theme of movement and activity. Unlike Isaiah, we are not just passing through the waters we are caught living in these waters.

I think our youth, and the 1000 other youth attending this week, are really going to grasp this theme. Water is all around us! Creation was started with water and out of those waters came everything that is and will continue to be! It is important while we are here that we (youth & adult leaders) remember who we are and where we came from. Water is one of the only constant connection between us all.

So we are just flouting on the surface, but we are bound to dive deep and grow in our faith as our week continues. So more to come! Stay tuned!
