Children`s Retreat

I am getting excited! This weekend is the annual Children`s Retreat. A gathering of around 80 children and 30 leaders at a retreat centre close to Cultus Lake. The children will be between the ages of 8-12, many of whom have never been away from home before. Our theme for the event will be based on Jeremiah`s call. An opportunity to experience children empowering each other to use the gifts they have been given. In preparation we`ve asked some children to share their talents with the group. So far we have a cello player, a bagpiper, someone who volunteers in Guatemala every summer with her mom and a child who began a project to raise money for those who are homeless. It looks to be an amazing weekend and I look forward to learning from an incredible group of children.
