We went on a retreat
March marked our second annual Oasis Winter Retreat! We heard from a dynamic speaker, Aaron Custalow from the Fredericksburg Prayer Furnace, experienced powerful worship, ate Vienna sausages out of bowls of mustard, maneuvered through the high ropes course, laughed at two goofy German ping pong players, and ultimately grew in our knowledge of and affection for Jesus!! Cant wait to keep moving forward with what God is doing in this group of AMAZING high schoolers at Grace Covenant!
