Spring Young Adult Retreat at Lewis River

The young adult retreat at Lewis River went off very well. We had a lot of fun sharing, laughing, exploring, and enjoying ourselves up at the campgrounds. Susan Gregory did a wonderful job helping us explore faith, discernment, and action in our interactive and fun classes. We had plenty of time to share our experiences and testimonies with one another. We worshipped and prayed with one another. All in all it was an amazing weekend. Here are some pictures from this weekend...

The Fine Arts Retreat

The ever growing annual retreat will take place at Samish Island Campgrounds on the weekend of April 25-27, 2008, and is open to people of all ages! Some classes usually offered at this retreat includes Culinary, Music, Songwriting, Instrumental, Drawing, Bonzai, Yoga, etc. Check out the flyer at http://finearts.cofchrist-gpnw.org/FAR2008.pdf.

I went last year and had a lot of fun. For those who play guitar it is a great time to jam with others and learn. But, if you are not so musically inclined there are plenty of other artistic endeavors to pursue. The numbers at this retreat keep growing. On Saturday night they have a big talent show as well. Plus, the weather is pretty nice this time of year up at Samish and you get to hang out on the grounds.
