Theology Weekend – Edmonton
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Campfire Service in Victoria
Under the tutelage of campfire experts Kat Goheen and Shannon McAdam over the past few Samish Family Reunions, and with a little help from Auntie Debra on the day, 12 year old Georgia Shirley led a full hour campfire service in Victoria.
Everyone had a great time from 4 years old to 98!
…and the silly photo!

Thought for the Week
I will behave today
like the person I wish to become
The way to achieve my dreams is by living them now.
I release the fears and habits that have been holding me back.
