Overwhelming Grace!

SPIRITUS has just returned from our various travels and other summer experiences, coming together to officially form Team 5!

We have several familiar faces returning, as well as a number of newcomers. In a couple weeks, we'll post a more thorough introduction. But for now, let me just say that there is a positively overwhelming number of team members here, in a very good way!

With the addition of a second team this year (serving in Green Bay), we have a total of 16 SPIRITUS members. (And we could even take one more guy, if anyone out there knows any Spirit-filled men looking to serve the youth by spreading the Gospel.) Mt. Tabor has never seemed so alive!

Being in the kitchen last night, nominally supervising the barely-controlled chaos that was 16 people preparing dinner, I felt a bit out-of-my-element as an introvert. But I also felt very much as if I were part of one great big family. I felt loved.

I think sometimes God's grace is like that; it's so intense that it makes us just a little uncomfortable... but it's so wonderful that we just want to surrender to Him and soak it all in!

Please pray for us as we leave for Camp Tekakwitha to continue our opening retreat as a team. Pray that God will continue to overwhelm us with His love and grace, so that we will be prepared to share that love with the youth!
