4 A Word From Sherry

5 What Great Love the Father Has Lavished On Us. 1 John 1:3 Our theme this year, Love Revealed, will encourage us to recall how the Love of God is lavished on us each day. There are times when His love is lavished through a person, through the Word of God, but the greatest way that God shows His love to us is with His daily presence in our lives! Excitement is in the air at Cross Pointe Camp and Retreat Center! As a team, we feel we have done our best to plan an exciting time together. We have prayed for a renewing of your mind, a refreshing of your body, and a desire to work for the Kingdom of God as never before! May our time together bring you joy and may you leave knowing how valued you are in the Kingdom of God and to us! With Love... Your Director and Friend, Sherry Welch five
