Students from across South Central Pennsylvania have arrived at Black Rock Retreat, in record numbers: 92 students from 7 campuses. Students came with excitement and anticipation and were not disappointed by this first evening. Betsy Staudt Willet led moving worship, Neil Livingstone brought the word from Luke 5, and students dove in getting to know each other across campuses in a lively open mic coffeehouse emceed by Nick Peterson.
All to begin digging into the question: how are you pursuing the good life?
Tonight, from Luke 5, we see a guy named Simon get interrupted by Jesus jumping into his boat, challenged by Jesus to take it deeper, and then find himself standing knee deep in fish. How might Jesus be breaking out of all the boxes we put him in? What boxes do I even have? Where do I find myself?
