Meet & Greet - August 27, 2011

Dear fellow disciples in training,

What a pleasure it was to meet so many of you last Saturday. Thanks to Mike and Tess for their wonderful hospitality and to Marcel and Bert for the wonderful pizza. However, it was all of you together that made it so special. As one participant said, “What a group! There’s not one person here who rubs me the wrong way. I’m really looking forward to our time together”. We look forward to seeing more of each one of you and getting to know each other better and experiencing this trip together. Margaret D is committed to setting up a blog so we can share our training experiences and our reflections. However, deeper than all of that is our desire to get to know Jesus more deeply, to become more like Him and fulfill His purpose for us.
If you want to get together again, express that. We have some wonderful opportunities to hike the Bruce Trail in the Hamilton area. Maybe you may want to organize something, otherwise we will if there is an interest. We will certainly keep you up to date as and when we hear more from Ray VanderLaan.
The camel pack we talked about last Saturday will be available to us sometimes in January. Beside the water reservoir; it has room for other things such as bible, notebook, etc. Also as expressed we will email you an up to date list of participants with their place of residence so if you live close together you may want to do some hiking together.
Happy training, from the organizing committee.
