The Retreat’s Over, But the Memories Live On
The Retreat’s Over, But the Memories Live On
Last week our high school students made their way to Strong Rock Camp for their annual retreat. Students enjoyed fun camp activities such as archery, a climbing wall, and time in the lake with the blob! Scotty Valiani encouraged our students to be brave in faith and follow Jesus faithfully. We also enjoyed worship led by Cornerstone alum Sam Hardie ('13) of West Cobb Church. What a great way to start the year!
