After almost 5 years of being together, the Children's Ministry (The Joyful Ark) finally, under the guidance of our Spritual Director Fr Bruno, had our first ministry retreat held at the Jesuit Spirituality Centre.
It started off wonderfully with breakfast and lots of good cheer from all and wonderful "Did you know...." stories from John!

We then made our way to the retreat house in 2 cars and settled in quickly. It was exciting for me cos it really felt like I was a young teen all over again at some confirmation camp! lol. We had meditation prayer in the garden where it was just peaceful and calm.
It was a simple retreat yet powerful in God's ways. Its hard sometimes for us to realise how much this was needed or its importance for us to bond in a Ministry and to pray together. I really had a great time and I pray that the Lord will continue to guide each one of us in this Ministry all set and ready for Advent and the new year 2011.
