Wheaton College Volunteers

Liz Henderson--Program Team Assistant

Winter is a fun time at HoneyRock.  Each weekend is filled with various church youth groups, Bible study groups, and school groups.  Our GPA (Graduate Program Assistantship) Staff have been doing a fantastic job hosting these groups and giving them a great HoneyRock experience.  But we would not be able to run our winter retreat programming without the help of Wheaton College student volunteers every weekend.

This past weekend HoneyRock hosted the junior high youth group from Eastbrook Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  They were a fun, diverse, and energetic group that kept our staff busy.  Thankfully, the Women's Lacrosse Team from Wheaton College came up to HoneyRock for the weekend to volunteer and do dishes.  It was a joy for us to have such a large group of Wheaton students (including former Wheaton Passage students and SLSers) come up for the weekend.  They spent time in the kitchen washing dishes and then got to hang out and do winter activities such as broomball, tubing, trail rides, snow shoeing and climbing.

Last weekend the Men's Lacrosse Team from Wheaton College was here volunteering.  We love having Wheaton Students up here!  It is tremendous blessing and encouragement to our staff and it is a great opportunity for students to get out of Wheaton and take a break.  Thank you, Lacrosse Teams!
