Topic for 2008: The Spirituality of Imperfection - When Perfect Isn't Good Enough
You just can’t get away from it. No matter where you turn, the seductive voice of our culture reminds us that we must be perfect: perfect body, perfect clothes, perfect family, perfect parents, perfect house, perfect car, perfect job, and on and on it goes. Our speaker this year was Rev. Ray Campton, MFT.
Child care was provided for toddlers and pre-schoolers. Younger school-aged kids were challenged in a scavenger hunt and capture-the-flag in the evening. Youth were lead by John Silva and Andrew Boyd.
