Walking in the Light

So our teens went on a spiritual retreat weekend early in August called Recharge. This was started back a hundred years ago when I was a teen and the idea was to recharge your spiritual life to get you ready to handle all that gets thrown your way during the school year.

My oldest son got to go for the first time this year! Such an exciting and scary time for all of us. :) The theme was "Walking in the Light". The Sunday night before they left we had a "Sending Off" service. You can listen to it here. Recharge Sending Service

That sermon explains the theme of the weekend. A brief summation of it...we are surrounded by darkness, but Christ is our light and will guide us through everything when we let Him. But please, if you haven't hear the sermon, it is worth the time to listen to it!

This last Sunday night Pastor Tom, our youth Pastor, preached again, on this theme. It's a beautiful sermon. You can hear it here. Sunday PM Service

So these bracelets were inspired through this. They are created a reminded that we are surrounded by darkness, yes, and sometimes it seems to wrap itself around us, but Christ is the light. He is our light. The light of the WORLD. And through Him, we have nothing to fear. We can find PEACE and HOPE when we walk in the light.

It's not an easy path at all times. In fact, many times it is the harder path to take, but it is the ONLY one that comes with unconditional LOVE, PEACE, HOPE, and JOY. And the rewards of choosing this path are far greater than anything this world has to offer.

All proceeds from these bracelets/ necklaces will go into my son's account at church to pay for the mission trip next summer.
