Fall Coast Camp ‘08

Author: admin | Filed under: Blog

A trip to remember!

Hello everyone, I want to take the time to share with you all about our Fall Coast Camp on the “chili Northern California Coast”.  Some people think I am crazy for even attempting these trips on such an unpredictable Coastline. You really never know what type weather your going to get when planning these trips.  However, fall is always a great time of year for the Northern California Coast.  You actually have a really good chance of scoring great weather.  Our trip sure didn’t dissapoint.  We had two absolutely gorgeous days on the beach. It almost felt like we were in Southern California without the 70 degree water. It did however get down to freezing degrees overnight. Some of the gang were huddled around the fire throughout the night trying to stay warm. The ocean water was also quite chili because of the cold nights lately, but that didn”t keep the crew from hitting the line-up on our longboards. I was so proud of how many of you learned how to surf and actually enjoyed being cold. Once your numb the pain goes away.  We had such a good time of worship and time of Bible Study on Saturday night as we looked at Romans chapter 8.  ”I know God moved that night in some of your hearts” and that is exactly what these trips are all about.  Just to get away from everyday life for a while and learn about God while at the same time enjoying outdoors and good fellowship. I also wanted to thank Steve and Heather Carlino for supplying all the surfboards and wetsuits for this great surf trip. We were all shocked to have witnessed Heather Carlino in a roll over car accident at the beach where we were hanging out for the day.  We all saw it happen and ran up to see her trapped in her car. We were all able to see God move in that situation as we prayed together as a group for her safety. She was released later that night from the hospital without injuries except bruising and a headache. It was all quite shocking for everyone to see this happen before our eyes. We are grateful that she is ok. There should be some pictures posted soon for this trip. thanks to everyone who helped out. God Bless
