Our Belovedness in Jesus

This retreat invites you to deeply encounter the life-transforming truth of your belovedness in Christ. Through scripture, worship, and reflection, we will explore how understanding God’s love shapes how we see Him, ourselves, and others. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful conversations and connection through small group discussions as we discover our position as cherished guests at His table, our identity as His prized possession, the relentless pursuit of His love, and the sustaining power of His provision. Come and be reminded that you were made by love and for love—a love that invites you to lean fully on Him and live in His abundance.

When you turn 80 years old, there ought to be a big celebration. That’s what’s planned for Camp Medley, the diocesan camp which opened in 1945 as a place for kids to get out of the cities and back to fresh air and nature. Everyone is invited, especially those with a link to the camp.

If readers have any memorabilia from camp — crafts, photos, t-shirts — they’d like to show off, they’re asked to contact John (director@campmedley.ca). As well, if readers have stories from camp they’d like to share, please send them to this address:  friends@campmedley.ca.
