Leadership development has always been an important focus for Blenheim United Church. Many years ago, a fund was established to assist people with the cost of taking advantage of leadership development opportunities.

The fund was utilized in different ways. Each year the fund was used to off-set the cost to parents of sending their children to Kenesserie Camp. Some of these children became camp counsellors as teenagers, and a few of those people have become ministers. The fund was also used to help send adults in the church to workshops or conferences on church leadership.

Over the last few years, the fund has not been utilized to its fullest potential. In conversation with the family who established the fund they would still like to see the money used for leadership development and Kenesserie Camp was the logical place for this to happen.

Blenheim United Church is honoured to have been the holder of this generous fund and are now privileged to donate $7,500.00 to Kenesserie Camp to be used for leadership development. Dan Richards, the Executive Director of Kenesserie Camp was grateful to receive this donation.

Advent Candle Prayer
Creator God, in this season we light a candle each week,
Each a prayer to prepare for your arrival.
Encouraging God, we pray to be a spark of HOPE
For those that need it most this Christmas.
Help us bring assurances of your grace.
Gentle God, we pray to be a bringer of peace,
A creator of calm in a hectic season.
Help us find time to remember you.
Celebrating God, we pray to be a reminder of joy,
For this is a time of celebration.
Help us feel the joyfulness of your coming.
Caring God, we pray to be an embodiment of love,
To follow your teachings to care for each other.
Help us share your love with those who may have trouble feeling it.
Newly arriving God,
Help us live in the spirit of Christmas all the rest of the year.
Amen.
