Young Adults need more in person connections more than ever. This weekend was a great reminder of the power of connections within the Community of Christ. Young adults need to harness the connections with other young adults to have a reason to engage with the community. The future of the church is dependent on the relationships that are formed at events/retreats like these.
Everyone belongs at the table. However, many don't realize that there is a table to belong to. It was cool to see so many new faces at the retreat this year. Creating more opportunities for people to feel like they belong is important. The retreat was a good insight into that. I am happy to see other events happening such as The Table. It is good for the future of the church/community.
Other than that, I don't remember much else about the retreat other than some of the fun that was had. Totally forget the theme of the retreat ha.
