Worthy '07

It's always impossible to describe the CLC Youth Retreat. Worthy '07 was a wonderful, memorable, rich time. This was Janelle's first retreat so it was particularly meaningful to be there with her and her friends.
Christoph did an outstanding job leading our care group breakout sessions. He started each time with a trivia contest between parents and teens on subjects like sports, movies, Bible, presidents. By the end of the retreat we were tied and the parents won the tie breaker question: What is the Maryland State crustacean? Not a hard question if you live in Maryland.
Latecomers were required to do ten push ups. After the first morning, most people were on time.
Repeat offenders had to do 20. Christoph had compassion on them and offered to do it with them. The kids counted very slowly when he was on the ground.
(He was grateful he and Janelle have been training for basketball together by doing 25 push ups every night for the past 6 months!)
