Trailblazer Winter Retreat
Six youth from Salem attended the Trailblazer winter retreat held February 5-7, 2010 at Pilgrim Pines. It was an awesome weekend! The weekend centered around the theme called “The Flame” reflecting God who appeared before Moses in a burning bush. God told Moses, “I am the Lord, the Lord of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” and “I have heard the cry of Israel’s people and promise to deliver them from Egypt.” Through guest speaker Paula Frost a message of “Stop, turn and go towards God” was emphasized. Paula also got the kids to repeat, “Don’t put out the Spirits Fire!” She reminded the kids to spend time with God (Go to church) and with other Christians to strengthen your faith in God. Several youth (including 3 of our boys) committed themselves to a life with God by placing a kindling on a ceremonial fire (unlit of course).
The highlights of the retreat were the excellent food, fun activities on the ice (Counselor bowling, broom hockey and snow gnomes). The inside activities included several ice breakers and mixers (Card swap, beans and weenies, whip cream and vanilla “Vanilla” and Human Snowman). The band from Pilgrim Covenant in Lunenberg made the weekend lively and spiritual (Great youth and adult combined band)!
Ice Cream Social
Held on Valentine’s day was well attended with 12 youth and 11 adults from Salem. We had delicious sundays with lots of toppings. It was held during our regular (Trailblazer/Jr. High) meeting time on Sunday’s from 3:00 – 4:30 . We played sardines and fruit salad, which are becoming two of our youth’s favorite games.
