Our Vision and who we are.

Posted on Fri, Apr 09 2010

We are a group of like-minded people who love God's creation and enjoy inviting others to participate with us.  We decided to organize into a group that could more easilty facilitate offering outdoor activities to families, singles, and youth.  There is a leadership team of eight that run the events.  We are not all church people or even from the same church.  We enjoy people and enjoy fellowship with others as we share our passion of God's creation.

 

Our purpose is to offer a variety of outdoor activities for families and individuals to experience the wonders of God’s creation with one another. This is not an exclusive church group. We hope to include and invite many outside of the church community.

 

Generally, event leaders are knowledgeable of the ecology and geography of the area, and are willing to share interesting facts with participants.  They will answer any questions concerning equipment.

 

 We focus on events that include two levels of people: the novice,
 less experienced or younger participant; and those that want
 more of a challenge. This makes it easy for families to
 participate.  Biking, hiking, and kayaking are activities that easily accommodate this format.

 

These events are scheduled in coordination with the five summer outdoor
 events that Light of the World Church has already scheduled: 

• Two youth events
• Family Fun Day
• Two Orford camping trips (Memorial Day and Labor Day)

 

 Other events and activities will also be offered as “come along events.”  These are events which individuals are doing and are open for others to join in.  Example: backpacking in White Mountains, ocean kayaking and camping, star parties, and future trips to the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. Impromptu kayaking, biking, and day hikes will also be posted.

 

Each event will have a point person. The rest of the leadership group will give support to the event.

 

 LWCC hosts a webpage where information on the events is posted.  Everyone is welcome to join this group as a member.  This group has open membership subject to administrative approval.

 

 We are outreach oriented as well as community oriented.

 

Please join us!
