All Church Family Retreat, August 1-3
The church retreat provides the opportunity for us to fellowship together outside of Sunday in the beautiful, nurturing environment of Redwood Glen. It is also the time when we introduce the theme for the new church year which begins in September. Although the Education Department is still working on the theme, it was suggested that the theme reflect how to build bridges and promote unity in our fractured world.
The church retreat is scheduled for August 1-3 at Redwood Glen.
The leader for the adults is Rev. Dr. Petra van De Water, who serves as a hospice chaplain and led our ministers council retreat. She has already begun work on ways to help us hold on to the positives of life, work through the negative, and find outlets for our various emotions. Sign up soon. Retreat sign up forms be available each Sunday in the Narthex or click here to download the form. Scholarships are available. Also, if you have been to and enjoyed the retreat and able to do so, consider contributing to the retreat scholarship fund so others might share in the experience.
