Here is what one new student wrote as her Facebook status after Fall Retreat:

“On the way home from Westview this afternoon as I was trying to nap, smiles kept creeping up my face as my mind reflected on the last two days. Some of the reasons for the smiles: the Chicken Coop (aka Cabin 3), Shelby Abbott, ice breakers, WORSHIP, costumes, vulnerability, women’s time, bonfires and s’mores and guitars and singing, and feeling the Lord’s presence in my heart like I haven’t for the longest time. So much love for CRU, who are the realest, most encouraging and uplifting people I have ever known. I am so blessed to be in community with you.”

What an incredible endorsement for spending the weekend with Jesus!
