EAST Retreat as we Restart for the New Year
“Learning lessons on REST with an amazing Family whom I feel at home with… EAST!” reflected Winnie, a student.
At the start of New Year and new semester, EAST staff and students gathered at the City Beach Resort, Labrador Park as part of the EAST Mentoring Groups Retreat 2014. This was a time to…
• Regather – after a long school break,
• Reconnect – for fellowship and fun together,
• Refocus – aligned at the start of 2014 and the new semester,
• Reflect – to consider how God is at work in our lives, and
• Rejoice – in worship of the Lord.
Classes for this semester has just started and we look forward to great times of learning and growing together! Would you like to join us?
