Over the weekend, we had our year end Leadership Retreat

Our key organiser is Joey who did a fantastic job as organiser and bbq server. She is also our resident ghost, one who’s scary enough to scare all evil spirits away..

When Pastor Jeff sms me to ask how the retreat was going, I was in the middle of attempting something…

So I replied “I am playing fireworks” and went on to attempt a great feat with the team.

We were trying to form “L-O-V-E”. We didn’t quite get it but its okay because there’s more to retreat than BBQ and fireworks.

We fellowship as one people, built team, envisioned and did creative brainstorming on the areas of importance. We discovered….

- The One Thing about us as God’s people
- The One Thing about building teams
- The One Thing about leading kids
- The One Thing about connecting them
- The One Thing about discipling them

…. because often its only one thing that is needed.

“… but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” – Luke 10:42

We want to be like Mary to choose what’s better. When we know the One Thing, people may complain why we aren’t doing other things but that’s okay, it may be a bit problematic or troublesome, but what we learn in this retreat, we know will not be taken away from us.
