Spiritual Weekend

This weekend we had a spiritual retreat. Instead of going off ship on a retreat we had it on board.

It started on Thursday night at our community meeting, where our speaker talked about the Tabernacle (where the Holy of Holies is, and where the Priests did their work in the old Testament). We then had a worship night ending with ice-cream in midships.

Friday night we had a journey of the Tabernacle with different types of stations where you could experience and just have moments of silence with yourself and God. There were seven different types of stations and they were: 1.) The Tabernacle entrance.
2.) The Bronze Altar
3.) The Bronze Laver (basin)
4.) The Table of Shewbread
5.) The Golden Lamp stand
6.) The Golden Altar
7.) The Ark of the Covenant

On Saturday at 10:00 and 14:00 there were workshops. On Saturday night there was a worship service and all were invited to come in the presence of the Lord and worship His name.

On Sunday morning people came and brought old manuscripts from ancient days (further details still to come).

Sunday night we had our church service ended with the messages about how the whole weekend for everyone was, anyone could stand up and share a story of them about what has happened. After that our high school girls (Hannah Palmer, Rachel Cairncross, Lara Palmer, Carys Parker and Michelle Marx) did a dance and we had a lot of fun.

It was a great weekend getting closer to God and learning more about Him.
