2009 Dove Celebrated 25 years in New Zealand

This year we celebrated Dove in New Zealand with five retreats in the North Island in May and June, and two retreats in the South Island in September.The first being in Christchurch at St Bede's College and the last being two weeks later in Nelson. For two weeks the national team traveled through the South Island and held outreaches in Oamaru, Invercargil and Greymouth and visited other people and places along the way.

The celebration began Anzac weekend in Wanganui - a wonderful first time venue. Read Jayne Sutherland's account in the form of a letter to her daughter  Wanganui 2009

 Tui Ridge, Rotorua was another new location the following weekend. Join Trish Copeland as she gives her impressions of the Dove Retreat in Rotorua 2009 .  Comment from a first time attendee - "If this was what going to church was like no one would want to leave."
