Braeburn Retreat: May 19 - 21, 2023

Picture
We are looking forward to the return of our Braeburn Retreat on the May long weekend.

Held for the first time last year, 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 and there is no cost for meals, but we do ask you to contribute to one of the two pot-lucks that we will be having out there.

​As we did last year, we have a special speaker lined up.  Talasi Guerra will be speaking on the theme of Biblical Joy.

Schedule:
  • Friday – Driveway open at 5:00 pm (earlier arrivals are welcome).
    • Campfire and wiener roast at 6:00 pm
