Braeburn Retreat: May 17 - 19, 2024
We are looking forward to the return of our Braeburn Retreat on the May long weekend. This will be our third annual retreat!
Held for the first time in 2022, the church had an absolutely wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the program, the meals, and the time to relax around the fire. Some went for walks, others enjoyed a leisurely nap or enjoyed some games around the tables.
Braeburn Retreat is a short (close-to-home) weekend retreat for the church family. There is no registration fee.
As we did last year, we have a special speaker lined up. Rev. Charles Muxworthy is our former District Superintendent. He was here as one of our guests during the church's 60th anniversary celebration in March 2023. He recently celebrated his 97th birthday and is eager to come and speak to us as the Lord directs him. We are so looking forward to his ministry.
You can come any time you are available. Come Friday afternoon, or if you wish on Saturday morning. Stay the whole weekend, or just stay for the day. There is NO COST to you for participating. If you signed up already (not required to do so, but it is helpful), someone will call you regarding food.
