Imagine a weekend filled with laughter, adventure, and the warmth of a loving community. That’s what Hope Centre Ministries’ Spring Retreat means to Riley and his friends. When asked what he loves most about it, Riley’s face lit up: “Everything!” It’s more than just a getaway; it’s a “family reunion.”
Why This Retreat Matters
For individuals with disabilities, this retreat at Camp Arnes, scheduled for May 30th to June 1st, is often the highlight of their year. It’s a chance to:
- Create Unforgettable Moments: Picture campfire stories, shared laughter, and inside jokes that become cherished memories.
- Experience Deep Belonging: Through shared meals, group activities, and heartfelt conversations, attendees feel the true meaning of community.
- Foster Spiritual Growth: Worship and reflection provide a space to connect with faith and feel deeply loved.
The Challenge: Rising Costs
However, the rising costs of food, transportation, and accommodations are making it difficult to keep this vital retreat affordable. Many of Riley’s friends face economic hardships, and without your support, they risk missing out on this essential experience.
Your Impact: A Gift of Belonging
Your generosity can make a real difference. A gift of $64.14 will subsidize the cost for one person to attend, removing financial barriers and ensuring everyone can participate.
