Weekend Retreat

We had a church retreat Friday & Saturday in Niagara Falls (not really exciting when you  used to live there for about 15 years) at the Americana Resort & Conference Centre (again not really exciting unless the sight & sounds of hundreds of rug-rats at a water park turn your crank).

But we did wind up having a great time!!

The speaker, Bill Markham from Central in St. Catherines, was great & his message really seemed to resonate with those in attendance.

It seemed as though many of what we would think of as "core people" (active, been at Community since the beginning types) could not attend, meaning a lot of those in attendance were "fringe people" (coming often enough to call Community home but not really connected or active).

That was the best part of the weekend to really meet & connect with these folks in a relaxed fun environment.
