Rooted 101

For the past several months our Shelterwood Director has been working to bring the concepts of Healing for The Nations to our campus.  Several of our staff have been afforded the opportunity to attend one of the monthly scheduled intensive retreats.  It's difficult to summarize in a blog, but in essence HFN deals with spiritual healing from the false beliefs we carry in our hearts  about ourselves.  Lies.

Over the next two weeks, we will be taking our big brothers and big sisters through a condensed two day retreat titled "Rooted".  The retreat/training will take our staff through a Shelterwood history from Richard Beach to Kansas City.  Additionally the training will cover residential concepts including Love and Logic, Mindset, De-escalation and ultimately land on the subject of spiritual health and the need for the Holy Spirit in our lives as staff working with at-risk youth.  It's a lot to take in for a two day period but I have been working with Director, Rujon Morrison on a way to present the profound spiritual truth of HFN in a culturally relevant way to our young adult staff at Shelterwood.  It should be fun.

The retreat is scheduled for September 20-21 and September 27-28.  In order to maintain adequate supervision in the house, half of the staff will attend each conference.  Please keep our big brothers and sisters in your prayers as we take them through Rooted 101.
