We will be going to the Wellspring Conference Center, in Germantown, MD, the week of March 21st to 27th in order to assist them with repairs and improvements. As part of The Church of the Saviour, Wellspring is a Christian conference center which helps the church be the church by leading events that foster spiritual growth -- (1) an inward journey, (2) an outward journey of service, and (3) a commitment to building community. Also, they provide a place for rest and renewal for people already engaged in Christ's service.Our work will include repairing water damage to various lodges and the Center, adding insulation and new ceilings within the lodges, installing new electrical lines and outlets and reversing various other problems created by recent storms and the aging of their 37-year-old buildings.
Established over 50 years ago, Wellspring sponsors and hosts retreats. It is part of over 200 acres of land set aside for renewal purposes. Another part of the property is used for silent retreats of the members of the various congregations within The Church of the Saviour which sponsor over 40 ministries to those in need within the city of Washington, D.C., and to others beyond beyond the goegraphical bounds of the Capitol.
