I will be off-line this weekend at a retreat for our ninth grade confirmation students, who will be writing faith statements, designing banners and in other ways preparing for their Confirmation Day.
I am hoping for good weather as a "Challenge Course" is one of their retreat activities tomorrow.
And I'm a little nervous. The "Challenge Course" is not strenuous, but last year, after the retreat, I developed a back spasm that sent me to the doctor and had me in intense pain. I really don't want that to happen again.
P.S. I will read more Friday Fives when I return on Sunday!
Now, I need to finish packing, buy communion bread, and find a rain coat (for if it isn't good weather.)

I'm saying a prayer for your back, Diane. Blessings on your weekend.
Prayers in abundance!
Hope it goes well!
I don't like being up late unless it is my decision, so retreats are a problem for me. I'm always grateful for the people who work with the youth who are willing to do that. God Bless the whole weekend, including your back.
You're a great gal Diane. It encourages me to see a lot of time and energy go into confirmation. I read of a parish that take a whole year for it! Good on you for undertaking such important work.
Does Scout get to go?
my words of wisdom diane... let the kids make the banners. me and "heat-and-bond" have been well bonding this week... making a banner for confirmation... eeek!
hope your back is well!
Sadly, Scout did not get to go.
Hope everything goes well!
You left me a comment awhile ago, and seeing it tonight I was struck by its thoughtfulness and found it encouraging. Thank you.
