Join Us!
Summer will be upon us in the blink of an eye and it’s time to start planning for your family’s summer vacation schedule. Once again St. Christopher is partnering with the Diocese of South Carolina’s Department of Faith Formation to offer a time of fun, fellowship and ministry geared towards young families. Your family is invited!! Imagine all the fun of a vacation at the beach coupled with times of teaching and equipping the family for ministry at home. Our desire is to help strengthen families for their spiritual journey together.
This year we are pleased to announce that Kirk Weaver, founder of Family Time Training, will be our guest speaker/trainer. Kirk and his wife, Kelly, have been doing Family Time activities with their children since 1994. In 1999 Kirk founded Family Time Training, which exists to support churches and equip families toward the goal of getting primary spiritual training back into the home. The ministry averages more than 80 trainings per year reaching 8,000+ family members. Kirk co-authored two books containing Family Time object lessons: Bible Stories for Preschoolers- Old Testament and Bible Stories for Preschoolers- New Testament. (For more information please visit www.famtime.com) Kirk will lead four sessions during the retreat, two which will involve parents only and two which will involve both parents and children together.
Come join us for lots of fun in the sun with beach activities, sailing, kayaking, beach-bonfires, woods-walks and more; teaching and equipping for parents; faith-filled fun for children, heartfelt worship and prayer; and fellowship with other families. Come be encouraged and connect with other parents committed to developing faith in the home.
Extend Your Stay…on the front end.
We’ve discovered that for many parents with little ones, three nights is the optimal time away. As such, the Family Ministry Retreat will begin on Wednesday, June 30 and end on Saturday, July 1st. However, for some families a longer time away from home is ideal. Therefore, we are offering an option for families to arrive one day early…on Tuesday. Take advantage of all that St. Christopher has to offer for your summer family vacation!
