Thank you for your prayers, ILS, for each of us participating in this weekend’s ETC. Our young really are seeking for opportunities to encounter God, build strong relationships and be reminded of how much they are loved.

You’ll hear students say, Happy 4th, simply put the 4th is our commitment to make everyday hereafter a continuation of what was encountered while on retreat.

Before we head off on a well served Thanksgiving break, let us be grateful for—

• One another’s presence & accompaniment
• ability to listen with our open an mind & heart
• Diversity of experiences
• Laughter & Joy
• Love

Our gratitude is directly linked to the simple things that make us human – our relationships of faith, filled with hope and abundant love.

Grateful for each of you, our ILS family, for your witness and earnest desire to “Love as Jesus loves” and pay it forward by putting love into action. ☀️
