Port Paradise Cruise

Port Paradise Cruise set sail at 9am. G! were greeted with a warm welcome and a "drink". Julie lead us in a devotion for the morning and some get to know you questions. We had some great food that all Cruise Ships are known for.
Once we had finished some talk time we headed to the deck of the ship where we were able to play some games and pose for some pictures. We played shuffle board, bean bag toss, we did the limbo, and we even danced the hokey pokey... cuz that's what its all about.






After some wild and crazy time on deck we headed to the Message in a Bottle and Massage Therapy area of our Cruise Ship. In Message in a Bottle were we able to reflect on Micah 6, find our own Bible Verses or write a prayer on a slip of paper. We put this paper in a bottle and filled it up with colorful sand. Also in this area of the Cruise Ship we had a back massage and/or a hand massage. Everyone really enjoyed this pampering time. While we were waiting for these 2 areas or after we were done, we enjoyed a chocolate fountain with lots of goodies. It was very yummy to hang around this area of the ship.





We than traveled to the Reflection Beach. Here we were able to take some time to reflect on prayer and what God has done in our lives. We learned that there are a lot of good books in the library. It was very calm with soothing music, candles and a water fountain.


After our beach time we headed back to the main part of the ship for some dessert and closing prayers. Port Paradise Cruise docked at 11:30am and everyone went there way for the day a little more filled with a message from God, memories with G! and a full tummy.
