Pass the Torch Retreat – a Great Success.

164217_10151551906615731_190574800_n

The ‘Pass the Torch’ Retreat was a big success. About 40 persons participated. Core Values of Aldersgate were defined. Traditions of Aldersgate that support those Core Values were named. Dave and Laura had a chance to introduce themselves and share some dreams for the future. Everyone laughed, reminisced and worshiped together. At the end of worship, Lee passed the camp keys to Dave.  It is now in the hands of all Aldersgate Alumni to help with this transition and to support Dave.  Aldersgate is in good hands.
