Princeton was a success!!

No one can argue that Princeton Weekend did not rock the house. Over 120 private school students attended from Baltimore to Boston. I had the special privilege of seeing some of these lives up-close and watch their reactions and responses to the messages given at the meetings.

Although sleeping on a mat in a school might not constitute the greatest of pleasures, it was worth it to hang out with these students and participate with them as they search deeply for meaning - beyond getting good grades and keeping up an image.

The session Caitlin and I gave on social justice also I pray, grows some fruit.

NOW to look forward to IVORYTON!! (Another retreat, though a week long, in Ivoryton, CT). Several students I know already plan on attending. HOORAY!! In between now and then our region will be hosting a few Christmas parties for boarding school students which promise to be fun.

Now for some pics from the weekend:

Jamming at the concert

This is where it all went down.

Before we drove off, we all had a good holler. Some song about a wagon wheel?

This was the name of our small group.... Yup! You might not have guessed that we had some very serious and edifying discussions about faith after each of the talks.

Some good friends from Internship One camp where I volunteered this summer. Mostly boarding school kids in this pic!

And my fellow staff mates - who always bring down the house, or knock down the playground, whatever the case may be.
