The annual United Women in Faith (UWFaith) Mother-Child Retreat was held at Camp Don Lee the first week of September. Forty-one children and their mothers from across the NC Conference experienced camp together, as has been the tradition for United Women in Faith for over twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday morning brought its share of rain and workshops facilitated by UWFaith members on wisdom in the water for the children and their mothers, a famous Don Lee fried chicken lunch, and prayer bead-making for everyone to share time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom in the Water seemed perfect since there was quite literally water EVERYWHERE! The river, the pool, the creek, the puddles, the cup of leaves, the sky\u2026and, of course, the living water in the souls gathered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as all of the inside activities finished, the rain stopped. Perfect timing! The pool began to fill with those wanting to brave the rope swing or high jump. Teams of families began to load canoes. Others waited on the dock for their first chance to experience sailing. Others practiced their skills with archery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is something special about mothers and their children getting time away together. Children making new friends while their mothers do the same in a beautiful location gifted by God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayrides, campfires, ice cream socials, and so much more make this annual event a memory both mother and child will always treasure. Many local UWFaith units sponsor women and children for this time of renewal each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camp Don Lee is available for retreats, Christmas parties, and so much more! Generational memories are made there daily. Visit Don Lee Camp and Retreat Center’s website<\/a> to explore all the possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know a mother who could use special time away with her child(ren) next year, please talk to your local UWFaith unit and help make this amazing experience available to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
