Ministry Weekend Camp Willochra - Melrose

7-10 April 2005

Part 1

30 people gathered at Camp Willochra over a very hot and dry April weekend for the Ministry Weekend led by our Ministry Development Officer, Dorothy Thorpe. The photos show the group gathered in the Dining Room where they were well-catered for by the Jamestown congregation. In the Chapel they worshiped and learned new hymns from Sister Sandra and Sister Jean CSBSC. The focus of the learning over the weekend was the Thriving Church with input from Thriving Church videos featuring Thomas Bandy and the MDO, Dorothy.  Another fruitful time of fellowship, worship and learning together!
