To the west and to the east

Over two weekends, Grassroots Training has flown to the west and driven to the east!

Grassroots Training had the honour of heading to the west to conduct some camp leader training at the Lutheran Youth of Western Australia's 'Leadership Retreat' (9-11 September). It was a fun weekend, with plenty to eat, great company and one amazing view from our retreat centre (picture below).

The following weekend, we drove to Mt Gambier, in South Australia's south east, and spent the day with the St Martin's congregation sharing about building healthy relationships, effective communication and developing leadership.

If your congregation, ministry group or school would like us to do some customised training for you, you can find out more on our website or contact us at grassroots@alc.edu.au
