On Sunday 28 April St. Mark’s in Barriefield asked Carol Fitzpatrick to come and speak about her ministry with children, the importance of summer camp, and what it might mean in their lives. The hope was that she might remind us of its importance, and instill in our community a desire to support the camp, and send young people to summer camp to experience its riches for themselves. Having not heard her speak before, we were not certain what we would receive.

We were well fed. Well fed indeed.

Carol spoke warmly, carefully and engagingly about her ministry with young people at Camp Hyanto. She shared with us stories of the children’s discovery that this God whom we speak about, learn about and wonder about can be known – and experienced – through the care of those who seek to act in His name. She connected deeply with the Gospel read in church that morning, and allowed what we heard to come alive in her message. It was a rich, powerful and engaging conversation: one which St. Mark’s was deeply blessed to participate in.

If you haven’t had her speak in your community, you might well consider asking her to join you. You would be well fed indeed.

May God richly bless Carol, her staff, and their ministry with young people this summer, as they seek to allow God’s message of love in Jesus Christ to be apparent and  experienced by those involved with Camp Hyanto. As a diocese, we are deeply blessed to have her lead this ministry.
