What a great weekend to have a women’s retreat! The sun is shining, the cool Fall breeze is just right. It promises to be an awesome weekend for women to connect with each other, good food, fun activities, spiritually challenging and excellent weather! The speaker for the weekend is Patti Larsen. She brings to Qwanoes a wealth of experience in ministry to women over many years. The women this weekend can expect to be challenged to know Christ, and to go deeper and wider in their relationship with God to be used for His fullness. The women’s retreat kicks off tonight!
Here is a quick recap of what has been happening at Qwanoes and what’s coming up!
Qwanoes students head off on a sailing trip! What an exciting trip for the students in our Kaléo Leadership Program. They started in Victoria and spent a whole week together on a big sailing ship! They learned a lot about each other, leadership and God. You won’t want to miss the pictures and the blog post on our Kaléo Program blog site.
Stevie-G is married! Our very own Stevie-G got married over the weekend to a past summer staffer by the name of Alycia! Many staff from Qwanoes headed all the way up to Williams Lake to be part of the celebration. It was a wonderful wedding day! The ceremony took place in front of a beautiful lake outdoors, we had a BBQ, campfire, and fireworks in the evening. Stevie-G even led us in some All Star Games! Okay, I’m kidding. Be sure to congratulate Stevie-G next time you see him! We wish Stevie-G and Alycia the very best and we are so happy to have both of them a part of our Qwanoes family 🙂 (Williams Lake is also where Scott Bayley, our Executive Director, was born…so he also enjoyed seeing his old home town, as did his parents Ken & Betty Bayley.)
Thanksgiving for all! We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. One of our highlights here at Qwanoes is our annual staff and student Thanksgiving dinner. What a feast! Our head chefs prepared a delicious home cooked Qwanoes meal, and it was a a great time of sharing with each other what we are thankful about. Many of our Fall staff are from Brazil, and this was their very first Thanksgiving in Canada!
