Retreats of all kinds offer spiritual, physical, and mental renewal as you spend time in a place free of your daily responsibilities. Jesus shows us on several occasions the importance of setting aside time for yourself and your relationship with God and others. The individual benefits of a retreat can include quiet time of peace and personal study, the chance to spend extra time enjoying a hobby, or even the opportunity to make new friends.
Unless otherwise noted, retreats start after dinner on Friday and end before lunch on the last day.

2022 Speaker:
Signe White and Eileen Lindemood, Program Ministry team members of Camp Perkins, will facilitate the sharing around our theme: Woven in the Word. Caryn Elliott will be leading us in a unique experience to emphasize the theme of Woven in the Word! You will get to make an Alpaca and Merino Wool scarf through a technique called "Wet Felting". |

theme: Woven in the word (2022)

Have you ever stopped to think about how God weaves our stories together into the fabric of His bigger Story? As God’s story of redemption and restoration touches our lives, we are transformed and given a story to live and share. Our individual stories weave together as we learn to live out God’s Story in vibrant harmonies. Come away for a time of discovery and growth as we experience what it means to be WOVEN in the WORD. (Col 1:17-22).
As a part of the experience this year we are blessed to have Caryn Elliott sharing her Fiber Art skills and teaching us how to make Alpaca and Merino wool scarves through a technique called "wet felting"! |
