Where have you met Jesus today?
The question of meeting Jesus anywhere. I feel like I have met him often as I’ve gone about my daily life. For me, it’s not a question of “will I?” It’s a question of “when.”
Thinking about the keynotes, what idea(s) are you taking home from RA @ Sea?
The power of baptism in helping people feel welcomed and included.
When did you most clearly sense the presence of God?
Doing ministry in the Word, so many sermons and teaching in the Word.
Watching the sun rise from the deck of the ship over the vastness of the water.
Overlooking the ocean, unable to see anything but water. The expanse of God mirrored in nature!
What story or stories will you remember and tell about RA @ Sea at your church?
The great fellowship and bonding we had and learning things about people I never knew.
Our Thanks . . .
