Hello friends!!

Please forgive me for not updating this blog sooner. It is amazing how life can get away on you, isn’t it?

I hope you all had a great Christmas vacation and that going back to school has not been too terrible an experience!! I loved seeing many of you at the mall on New Year’s Day! I love that you all continue to get together support one another! Keep it up!

So, as we start a new year allow me to outline a few things for you:

CLTD Winter Weekends – the following are the remaining dates:

·      January 28-30

·      February 25-27

·      March 25-27

·      April 29 - May 1

inFuze – January 15^th. A one-day conference with keynote speaker Justin Bills (Eldon will also be teaching a break-out session!). All Mentorship participants and those over the age of 15 are welcome to attend this event. Please feel free to invite your friends! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=179276152083894&index=1

The 2011 CLTD brochure will be mailed out soon! (I just need to get the printed!) The following are the dates for this summer:

·      Apprenticeship – June 26 – July 15 (The first week is staff training!)

·      Mentorship – July 17 – 29

·      Sojourn – July 31 – August 12

·      Sojourn – August 14 – 26

Youth Volunteers – Last summer Camp Chestermere decided to start up a program called Youth Volunteers. Some of you may have participated in it! It is the idea of a work crew made up of those who have finished Sojourn who would like to return to camp to help out and learn more about the background work of camp. More information will be made available to you as it is organized. Something to think about!!

Alright, all! As usual, people feel free to be in touch! We leaders are here for you, praying for you and love the chance to get together with you if you wanna chat about life, any issues or just hang out!

Blessings all! I hope to see each of you this month!
