On February 16-18, three of Zion’s 4th and 5th graders, Jessica Mendenhall, Reina Schumann, and Rosa Spann, attended the Elementary School Retreat at Cross Roads. The theme of the retreat was “Human Kind—Be Both”, and the focus was on what it means to be called by God to be kind to ourselves, our neighbors, and our world. Here is some of what the youth had to say about their experience. Special thanks to Brooke Schumann for accompanying the girls as Zion’s chaperone.
Jessica Mendenhall: The elementary retreat was very fun. One thing I really liked was the games in the rec hall. I was excited we got to take part in communion. If you ever go to Crossroads trust me you will enjoy it!
Rosa Spann: The winter elementary school retreat was very fun. My favorite part was when we went on a hike. It was a beautiful forest and was magical with the snow falling. I was surprised that everybody was very outgoing. At meals, people would say "Hello, my name is ____. What's yours?" Also, everybody acted like they already knew each other and would walk right up and ask to play. Overall, the food and movie were good, the counselors were nice, and the stations and activities were fun. I had a great time and I would love to go back.
