Noronto Reunion 2025: The quality is in the details!

By Cathy Baker, Noronto Reunion 2025 Director

Have you ever planned something that turned out better than expected? Have you had people turn up, help out, and go the extra distance to make things better?

Imagine:
Walking into a bathroom being cleaned and realizing that the family, of all ages, were actually "detailing" it—going beyond sinks, countertops, and toilets to truly make it clean! (Think: developing disciples to serve!)

A young girl, almost 8 years of age, deciding she wanted to do KP for a second day, and bringing joy in the happy way she collected dirty dishes from each table.

A sea of pink in the dining hall, as the KP group on the Pink Team wore pink in a variety of ways on their day of service.

Realizing that all but one hymnbook was being used in a worship service, and the singing was truly "out of this world"! (Noronto, you are gifted with musical talents!)

Having our guest minister, Janné Grover, bring out our talents in so many ways—like having us sing a four-part rendition of Be Still as a congregation.

Hearing someone comment on the way that people turned up so fully and participated.

Having leaders who delighted, informed, and stretched us on interesting topics and in interesting ways: Autism, AI, Hope, Deep Personal Conversations, Church present, future, and past, Music, and much more.

Watching someone make it her personal mission to raise money for the campgrounds by outfitting as many people as possible in Camp Noronto clothing.

Enjoying two incredible EggNorMuffin breakfasts that even included a special dietary component.

Raising a significant amount of money for World Accord even before anyone stepped onto the campgrounds for Noronto Reunion. (Thank you to everyone who participated—over $6,000 was raised! A special thank you to Andy Charron for donating his exceptional pictures for our silent auction.)

Celebrating a beautiful baptism at the Camp Noronto lakefront to finish off our week!

It is the people, and the special details each one added or experienced, that made Noronto Reunion 2025 a truly blessed event. Thanks be to God and the presence of the Spirit with this community.​
