Food for the Body... Food for the Soul
Two events coming to Gravatt this spring
Gravatt will host a Lenten retreat on March 13 and 14. The retreat them e centers on remaining present in body, mind, and spirit throughout your walk with Christ. Participants will experience 24 hours of self reflection through yoga for the body, prayer and meditation for the mind, and creative self-expression for the spirit.
Retreat facilitators are Mary How and Jemme Stewart. Mary is an artist, art therapist, and managing partner of Angelfish Creations. Jemme is a clinical nurse specialist in psychiatric mental health, a licensed professional counselor with her own private practice, and a yoga instructor at City Yoga in Columbia. Registration materials are available online.
Once your soul is fed, come on back to Gravatt on May 15 for The Big Delicious Event. Chef Brandon Velie, head chef and owner of Juniper in Ridge Spring, and Farmer John Oxner, owner of Big Moon Farm, will lead presentations on how to enjoy locally grown and produced foods. Participants will enjoy a 3-course-meal and are invited to spend the night if they choose. Registration materials are available online.

Register for Summer Camp Now  Hard to believe it's time to plan for summer already. Camp Gravatt summer registration is underway, and spots are filling fast. We have already closed two sessions for girls. Camp Gravatt offers boys and girls from first through twelfth grade a Christian-centered, community-based summer camp experience, focused on demonstrating God's unconditional love to every camper. Family camp sessions are also available. The Camp Gravatt program and activities vary by session, depending upon each age group, and include most of the traditional things associated with camp--archery, arts and crafts, canoeing, nature, time to play and swim in the lake, challenge course events, campfires, songs, skits, as well as time for worshipping and developing camp community. Don't delay. Reserve your space today. Learn more.
