This weekend, we were blessed to be a part of the WOW Retreat at our home church, Athens First United Methodist Church. The theme was "Tea and Thee". Cathy Lee Phillips was the guest speaker for the weekend. Cathy reminded us that we need to take time for God--listen for Him and recognize the gentle nudges he gives us. She gave us personal accounts, some humorous and some serious, about some of the ways that God has worked in her life when she has been obedient to Him.
Sister Grace sang today at the retreat and we had so much fun! It was so nice having Bill, Jonathan, and Greg playing on some of the songs, so we could focus more on the singing. The highlight for me was when we did "Voice of a Savior". Whitney sang the solo, which really put her out of her comfort zone, but she did an incredible job. I believe God was nudging her to do that song and boy did He let her shine! The words to that song talk about how we try to fill the voids in our life with so many different things, but what we really need to hear is the voice of our Savior. We even branched out and did a disco song made popular by Donna Summer--"I Feel Love"! We were feeling His love, too!
Many thanks to the WOW worship team for all your efforts in making this a successful event. What a great weekend!
