Come
Pray With Us!
Come and learn about praying through the Gospel of Matthew
and hear how it can help us pray in our everyday lives. We will
have a Bible study as well as learn about and make prayer
beads.
Come one and all for a weekend of rest, relaxation
and restoration.
For
those seeking unencumbered rest - come, find your favorite
rocking chair.
For those
desiring more stimulation and direction, we offer creative activities.
Everyone
is invited – individuals, couples and families with children of all
ages – to a refreshing weekend in the mountains. There’s something
for everyone.
Saturday
afternoon free time or organized activities: porch sit, hike to the cross,
