Eighty five mothers and daughters attended the 2009 Mother/Daughter Retreat at Peniel Bible Camp. There were several extended family groups which included mother-in-laws and cousins. The two youngest campers were 4 and 5 month old cousins who attended with their mothers and grandmother. The “most mature” mother/daughter pair were over 60.
The weather was perfect to enjoy the outdoor activities of camp – swimming, boating, the zip line. The first annual canoe race was so popular that there were two semi-final races before the final race which determined the winners of the Root Beer Floats!
The theme for this third annual Mother/Daughter Retreat was Abide in Me with John 15:4 as the theme verse. Amy Johnson from Inter-City Baptist Church in Allen Park, Michigan spoke three times. On Friday night she shared what she had gleaned from John 15 about bearing fruit, more fruit, and much fruit. On Saturday morning she spoke about a Woman Devoted to Prayer. In the final service Amy shared lessons from the life of Mrs. C.H. Spurgeon. Her sweet testimony and love for the Savior were evident as the ladies got to know her.
Thanks to all who worked hard to make this a special weekend for the moms and their daughters who attended!
