Psalm 150
Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD.
This past weekend I attended the Fine Arts Retreat at Samish Island Campgrounds. The above scripture from the Book of Psalm kept going through my head all weekend long. It truly sums up the weekend.
I have attended this retreat for the past 7 out of 8 years. It is one of my favorite church camps to attend. During this retreat we praise God through the Fine Arts. We spent the whole weekend playing instruments, singing, painting, doing crafts, acting, etc. Essentially….we spent the whole weekend being in community.
I had so much fun. I didn’t actually attend any classes. For me, part of the enjoyment of this retreat is relaxing and experiencing what everyone else is doing. I love the late night jam sessions as well as the early morning jam sessions. I was able to connect with friends and spend many moments in laughter.
I look forward to attending it next year on the first weekend of May!
