Wednesday

Today's theme was about the fruits of the Spirit and gifts of the spirit. 

Galatians 5:22-23

By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, and self-control. 

1 Corinthians 12

⁴ Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; ⁵ and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; ⁶ and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. ⁷ To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. ⁸ To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, ⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, ¹⁰ to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.

We talked about our gifts and how we use them in our lives; and about how important it is for us to use and share our gifts.

In the afternoon session, we went to the Adventure Course and did 2 team-building exercises - the Nitro Crossing and the Raging River. These really challenged our group to use their gifts and encourage one another. I was so proud of our group - they did an awesome job!

We ended the day with Capture the Flag and a campfire.

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is our last full day!
