The weather held out for us today and we had an amazing day on the beach.  Most of us had a great time in the water too.  Tonight we finished our final Bible study for the week and then we had the closing service on the beach by tiki torch light.  The service almost got rained out – but then the clouds cleared and it was a great night as our students committed to lives of purity.  We will be heading home tomorrow and hopefully be home around 3pm-4pm.  See you all when we get back. 

By the way, thanks to Dr Kirk for coming to lead our closing service.  Thanks also to all of our chaperons (Andy, Steve, Mark, Ruth Ann, Ashley, Sherry, LeAnn, Paul, and Wayne) for all you’ve done to make this a great retreat.  Thanks also to the Littlejohns for providing one of our three beach houses at Edisto Beach.  Thanks to Jan, Linda, Kathy, and Kelli for helping get our materials together.  Finally, thanks to all of our prayer partners out there who prayed for our students and chaperons.
