I am so incredibly thankful for the people I work with! I could not ask for a better group of people to share my life with. Today was a great day at staff retreat! We had times of worship together, time to look back at the 40 years of World Impact's ministry in Los Angeles, and time to think about what the next 40 years (and beyond) will look like. Our theme is Community and we are learning how community looked in the past, present and how we would like it to be in the future.
Today we also had an afternoon of free time. We kind of have a tradition for our free times, going out to sit on the field and watch the more ambitious members of staff play games, like soccer, ultimate Frisbee or football. We LOVE our times of relaxing, chatting and laughing on the field.
Another tradition at staff retreat is to stay up WAY too late playing games and eating the snacks everyone brings up to share. It usually starts out with a pretty big group, and then slowly dwindles down to a few brave souls playing until all hours of the morning. I'm not a huge game lover, but it is always fun to play at staff retreat!
This pictures shows a few groups playing games, the snack table (where all the people are gathered in the background) and the identity collages we all made on the wall. Fun memories at retreat!!
