An opportunity to get outdoors, connect with nature and with each other as we gathered at Punderson Manor to reflect on this year’s theme: Order, Disorder, and Re-Order.
Surrounded by God’s creation, we talked honestly about the “boulders” we may encounter this school year, the challenges, struggles, uncertainties, and personal burdens that can sometimes make the journey feel a little heavier.
We shared with one another, listened, encouraged, and reminded ourselves that being authentic means recognizing that we all carry our own boulders. Yet even in the midst of our own struggles, we are called to be present for our students, to lead with compassion, and to create a place where they know they are seen, valued, and loved.
Most importantly, we reflected on what we need from God as we enter a new school year. We may not be able to move every boulder on our own, but with faith, prayer, and one another, we can find the strength to keep moving forward.
Here’s to a year of clearing the path, reordering our hearts, and trusting God to guide us every step of the way.
Order. Disorder. Re-Order. And always, God at the center of all we do.
