Youth

Reflection of Underground 2008
When I asked my friend, a veteran Undergrounder, what the retreat was like, all she could remember was that it had very loud music. Accordingly, I entered the Underground expecting little more than to be deafened.
Though I had never been to a large junior and senior high retreat, I have been to enough diocesan retreats that I should have known that the Underground would impact me beyond my expectations.
Our diocese is full of people who are so eager to share their love of Jesus with the youth, so I really felt God working in powerful ways throughout the retreat. We learned about kingdom life and how we could help to build God’s kingdom, a lesson especially apt as middle school and high school youth groups joined together to worship God as they rarely get to do. Through the wonderful music, Q&A with the Bishop, seminars, and lots of time to worship, I felt our youth group build fellowship within itself, as well as with the other youth groups that came.
I am so glad that I had the opportunity to go to the Underground, and I thank God again for the awesome power He shows when His children gather in His name.
