Tubing with Jesus

By Lauren Plummer, Junior at St. Theresa's

Hey folks! If you haven't heard by now the youth of the diocese traveled to Helen, Ga today and went tubing with Jesus. We had an early start at St. Teresa's because our ride was going to consist of two hours of driving, several crazy conversations, a high level of anticipation and munching on some yummy snacks. When we finally got to Helen we realized that we left our money at church... Fortunately we have a wonderful youth leader who always has a back up plan. 

After taking a few group pictures we got our tubes and headed for the river. To say it was cold would be a very big understatement. I thought I might lose a few toes before the day was over. After I fell in , twice, I just left all my worries to God. We had a beautiful day on the river and I think I speak for the youth when I say we were ready for the pizza. 

We loaded up and drove over to Church of the Resurrection and had a wonderful meal filled with fellowship and laughs. When lunch was over we had a wonderful church service lead by Fr. David, who gave a wonderful sermon, and had a guest speaker from UGA. All in all the day was amazing and I'm glad that God called me to go tubing!
