Grade 10 Spiritual Retreat

Once again the Quest at Christopher Lake proved to be the ideal location for the Grade 10 retreat. The Lodge, situated on the shore of the lake, provided wonderful accommodations. The lake, although somewhat chilly, included the added bonus of a large water trampoline. The activities area was a great place for fun and team-building.

Led by staff members Jim Epp, Nancy Epp and Bev Epp (Team Epp!!!) the students had a great time singing, participating in activities, tubing behind a boat provided by Ron and Edith Regehr, eating great food made by Louise and Ewald Epp ( Epp again!!) and hanging out together.

The theme of the retreat was "Risking New Beginnings" and focused on the story of Moses from the Old Testament. Thanks to the Regehrs and Epps for once again helping to make the retreat a great success. Thanks also to Wendy Luitjens, Youth Worker from Rosthern Mennonite Church, for also coming to help with singing.
