Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at Wildflower. The Spiritual Life Team (a cross-team gathering of Wildflower lay leaders and staff) had a wonderful retreat and planning day on Saturday, February 1st, at Austin Youth River Watch‘s location in Del Valle. And the weather was perfect for indoor and outdoor discussions and walks! It was a great time of bonding and getting to know one another better, and imagining our upcoming season of worship, music, learning, and activities at Wildflower this spring and summer. We are thankful to AYRW (one of our past Second Offering recipients) for generously sharing their space with us, and we express much gratitude for the Wildflowers who helped to make the day successful and nourishing for all (including a yummy breakfast, snacks, and lunch for our full day of work).
While we worked a lot, we also made time for worship and spiritual practices, as nourishing ourselves is important as leaders. We learned a new song, “There is Only Love” (lyrics can be found here), and we sang some familiar songs, too, like “Rise Again” by Urban Voices Project, and “(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher).”
