A wonderful retreat is being planned, so please set aside the time from your busy schedule to participate. This will be a time for great worship, renewal, relaxation, and fellowship. Our theme is IN LIVING COLOR with the focus Scripture being Colossians 2:6-7. This is our first in-person gathering since 2019 and will be worth just being in fellowship and having space for relaxation. There will be one evening meal off campus. This meal will be at your own cost.
Bring comfortable clothes, Bible, writing pad, and an openness to the leading of the Holy Spirit. You may also bring your fishing rod, tennis racket, and walking shoes. There are bicycles available if you wish to ride the bike trails.
