NW Ontario Circuit retreat

THUNDER BAY, Ont. – From September 11-13, seven pastors from the northwest Ontario Circuit (five active and two retired) gathered at Aurora Lutheran Bible Camp, just outside of Thunder Bay, for a time of reflection and renewal in God’s Word. They studied St. Paul’s first epistle to Timothy and enjoyed time in worship and fellowship with each other. 

A gathering of this sort is no easy task for a circuit that is so geographically large, with congregations ranging from Thunder Bay and Nipigon in the east to Kenora in the west, and from Red Lake in the north to Fort Frances in the south. The circuit stretches some 600 km from east to west and 400 km from north to south. 

The group was blessed to have Lutheran Church–Canada’s Central Regional Pastor, Rev. David Haberstock, join this time of retreat. It served to strengthen the pastors further for the Lord’s service as many fall programs started up in their congregations. 

Many thanks to the camp and congregational members who helped support this event through food and accommodations. The pastors are deeply grateful for the love and support.

Rev. J. Quast
