The first day back was a Sunday, the fourth of July. Basically we got up late, had breakfast late, did Compass Time and had some group worship, and that was all we did that morning. It was relaxed and nice, and we enjoyed being clean and not overly active. Group worship was amazing as ever. The point to make about group worship, not just then but throughout Compass, was that everyone participated. Any way they wanted. Sit, stand, kneel, throw your hands in the air. You would NOT BE JUDGED. There was such presence of the Holy Spirit and such openness, it was amazing. Group worship was possibly my favorite thing about Compass.

It was so appropriate, and so perfect, and every word meant exactly what it was.
That afternoon after lunch, we went into a local city for church. It happened to be my home church. I was so happy to be there, and it was amazing taking communion with the others there, the others who I'd gotten to know so well. From there, we walked through the city to a bridge, where we had an amazing Table Talk and waited for it to get dark. By the time the fireworks ended, it was really late, and we took the subway back to the vans. By the time we got to the dorm, it was past midnight. But it had been a wonderful day.
