During the first weekend of December, we were pleased to host another Youth Retreat, this time at Eagle Bay Camp in Hilbre, MB. Youth attended from Misipawistik Cree Nation, Pinaymootang First Nation and Kinonjeoshtegon Anishinaabe Nation.
What a great time to build relationships and enjoy one another! From time spent in the Games Room or playing sports in the snow to opportunities for sharing and learning how we each fit into God’s story, the weekend was relaxing and fun! There was a spaghetti-and-marshmallow tower challenge, we played board games, and Rick provided great food (again). Some of us took a stab at crafting Christmas tree ornaments and, on Sunday, the Pathway team led the church service at Hilbre Gospel Chapel.
Thanks to that congregation for welcoming us! 🙂
Before we knew it, the weekend was over and we had to say goodbye and head home to our different communities.
We are thankful for the opportunity we had to enjoy the weekend before the hustle and bustle of Christmas activities consume every minute.
We look forward to our next retreat, tentatively scheduled for May 2015.
Have a joyous and blessed Christmas with your loved ones!
