How It Works
       Welcome is a journey of discovery.  The weekend               includes talks, discussions, social time, meals and               snacks, sacraments and prayer.  It's  also a time for             meaningful and personal encounters with God and           each other.
What It's Not:  A silent retreat, a public confession,         a cult, clicque, or a preselected group.
Attire - Casual, dress comfortable and for the weather.

They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.   Isaiah 40:31
