Last weekend, our kids gathered for an unforgettable weekend retreat filled with laughter, worship, Bible study, and hands-on activities. Our theme for the weekend was ENOUGH—a reminder that God is enough, we are enough in Him, and God always provides enough.
Our focal verse guided us throughout the weekend:
“Jesus said to me, ‘My grace is enough for you because power is made perfect in weakness.’” —2 Corinthians 12:9a (CEB)
Friday Night – God is Enough
We kicked off the retreat with a night focused on God’s constant presence. As the kids arrived, they were excited and kicked off the weekend with silly songs and games. During worship, we sang, prayed and reminded each other that God is always with us.
Through Bible stories and discussion, the kids learned that no matter where they go—or what they face—God’s presence is enough. Even in moments of fear or uncertainty, He is there. By the end of the evening, the kids were smiling, chatting, and full of excitement for the weekend ahead.
Takeaway: God is always with us, and His presence is enough.
“I liked that God is always with me, even when I’m scared,” shared one 8-year-old camper.
Saturday Night – I Am Enough
Saturday was filled with fun, laughter, games, team-building activities, and plenty of adventure—including some exciting time on the double slide! Our Bible lesson for Saturday focused on the story of Moses and the burning bush. The kids were invited to imagine themselves in Moses’ shoes—sometimes unsure, nervous, or thinking they weren’t “enough.”
Through skits, discussions, and personal reflection, the kids learned that, even when we feel weak, God equips us with what we need and surrounds us with helpers—just like He did for Moses.
Takeaway: With God’s help, we are enough to do what He calls us to do.
“I felt nervous at first, but then I remembered God gives me help too!” one camper said.
“It was so cool to see how Moses had Aaron to help him,” said another.
Sunday Morning – There is Enough
On our final morning, the kids explored the story of the Feeding of the 5,000. They shared their thoughts about how one boy’s small lunch was multiplied by Jesus into more than enough for everyone. Through craft activities, discussion, and reflection, the children realized that God provides enough for every day, and He invites us to trust Him to meet our needs.
Before heading home, we gathered for a final worship time and prayer, celebrating the truth that God’s provision is always enough. All the kids were chatting about their favorite parts of the retreat, giving hugs and high fives and were SO full of life!
Takeaway: God gives us enough for each day, and we can trust Him to provide.
“I learned that sharing what I have can help more people than I think!” one camper said.
Throughout the weekend, our kids laughed, learned, and grew together in faith. From worship and small groups to games and campfire moments, the retreat was a beautiful reminder that God is enough, we are enough in Him, and He always provides enough.
A Word to Our Congregation
As a church family, we celebrate the faith and growth of our children—but the truth of “enough” isn’t just for kids. We encourage every member of our congregation to reflect on God’s sufficiency in your own life this week. Take time to notice His presence, remember that you are enough in Him, and trust Him to provide for every need.
Let us also support the next generation in their faith journey—through prayer, encouragement, and pouring into their lives.. When we embrace the truth that God is enough, it shapes not only our children but all of us to live boldly, gratefully, and faithfully.
