We are thankful for the beautiful facilities that we can enjoy for a whole weekend. 
We are thankful for the wonderful Worship Team that will be leading us again this year.
We are thankful for the committee that plans the best possible retreat experience for all of us!

In Everything Give Thanks.

***********************

With the retreat weekend just being a few days away we are really getting quite excited about it.
The Planning Committee has had tons of fun putting together and informative and fun weekend for all of us.

Our hope is to provide a weekend where we can praise and worship God together, learn something new, have fun, make new friends and reconnect with old friends and enjoy our beautiful surroundings,   


Would also like to give you a little taste of what our speaker Rebecca Seiling will be presenting in her sessions during her time with us. 
We are so looking forward to what God has in store for us next weekend!

***********************
Session 1 --- Peace with God: Manna in the Wilderness

How do we find peace with God? The story of the wandering Israelites finding manna each morning challenges us to believe in a God of provision and more-than-enough. We’ll touch on spiritual practices and transformation, daily bread and butterflies.

Session 2 --- Peace with Others: Journeying Together

We know that we can’t walk alone; we need each other. What is our responsibility to others? How can we act out of a transformed life together? Through stories, we’ll hear about hospitality, forgiveness, and doing the unusual.

Session 3 --- Peace with Myself: The Road to Personal Peace

Sometimes the hardest road to peace is taming the monsters in our own heads. How are we accepting ourselves, and seeing our lives through God’s eyes? What places in our lives need healing? What is God’s role in helping us be at peace with ourselves?
