Hello from the Montreat High School Conference
It’s a peaceful Wednesday morning before our students have woke up and I’m sitting at “Brookside,” our little mountain cottage. The conference is going great and we are all having a great time. The students’ favorite aspect of the conference is the small group experience. Each day, twice, we meet with 29 previous strangers and explore what it means to be a Christian Community. At first, there was quite a bit of reservation. The students were not that excited about being split up and meeting new people. But now that they’ve had 4 small group meetings - they all agree - it’s great!
Our acommodations are more than adequate. The students are even learning a bit about kitchen work as we prepare most of our own meals. Curiously, when I asked a few to wash dishes they were stumped when they couldn’t find the undercounter appliance they were accustomed to. They didn’t do too bad for first timers with a sponge and a dish pan.
We’re about half way thru the conference and we’re having a great time. Keep up the prayers. I believe God is doing great things here at Montreat and our students are in the midst of it.
