The Faces of Koinonia

Summer is wrapping up here at Koinonia and I am reflecting on all the different people that spent time at with us at Koinonia. There have been high school and college age groups, family reunions, drop in centers, orphans, people in recovery, service groups, craft clubs, and then all the rest.

All of these folks made Koinonia their home away from home for a few days and there presence here has been a blessing to us.

Our prayers are that they are at least equaly blessed.

Kevin

Thank you

Dear Kevin and Koinonia Staff,

I wanted to thank you for your genuine hospitality during our stay. You are all very cordial and accommodating to our needs.
The library was a beautiful meeting area and the whole camp was so serene and relaxing. The whole group was pleased with our stay.

Sincerely, Greg - Coborn's Inc.

Camp Sunfish at Koinonia

Each Tuesday during the entire summer a wonderful group of volunteers gather at Koinonia to host children that are living in shelters in the Metro and St Cloud area. They call the event Camp Sunfish.

The kids participate in Camp Sunfish spend the mornings out on the pontoons fishing. After fishing they come in for a special lunch and then spend the afternoon swimming, running the paddle boats, and playing on the Koinonia beach.

After dinner at 5PM the group return t the lakeshore for a bonfire and smores where they tell everyone in the group what their favorite part of the day was.

Our hats off to the super volunteers that make this time special for these special kids!
