This past weekend Chris and I went to a Retreat Centre on Vancouver Island. It was a beautiful place to go and spend a couple of days. It's on a lake with a walking trail all the way around, 5km, which we did on Saturday. Awesome. The Centre is run by nuns who quietly come in and out just making sure that things are set up or served, etc. Each person gets their own room and share the bathrooms on each floor.

The retreat was with ladies from the church we've been attending and it really was a good spiritually refreshing time. While I wouldn't say we agree with all of their doctrine or interpretations of Scripture I wouldn't hesitate to say they're all really nice women and made us feel very welcome. We hardly knew any of them at all when we boarded the bus on Friday but by Sunday afternoon we came home feeling like we had made a lot of new friends.

Camp is a great place to connect with people. Connecting with God and sisters in Christ is always a good thing and I enjoyed doing both.
