Revive 2020 Teachings

On January 3-5, more than eighty young adults gathered in Woodstock, Connecticut for a weekend focused on the theme “Fight for Peace.”  We played ice-breakers, we worshiped, we listened to teachings, we played floor hockey and dodge ball, we attended workshops, and we renewed old friendships and made new friends. Revive 2020 focused a great deal on our hearts.  How can we align our hearts with God so as to enjoy his peace?  What are the emotions and situations that rob us of our peace?  How can we fight for inner peace in the trenches of day to day life?  These messages will give you practical guidance to take ground and achieve spiritual victory.  (Thanks Matthew Elton for recording these and making them available.)

One of the most notable aspects of our weekend of revival is the music.  Under the leadership of Sean Kelly, we had several groups lead songs of worship.  Here are a few recordings.

If you would like to know more about Revive, join our Facebook Group.  We hold this event annually at a YMCA in Woodstock, CT the first or second weekend of each new year.  Participants have to be at least 20 years old to attend, but we do not have an age limit on the upper end.  If you are young enough to sleep on bunk beds with YMCA-issued pee-proof mattresses in a large room with a bunch of other people, then you can come.  Here are some more photos from the weekend:
