The annual Congregational Retreat is a great time to get away from the “grind” and relax, fellowship with other members of the church, and participate in some in-depth Bible study. Below is a typical example of what you can expect on a Retreat weekend. (Some of the fees may have increased slightly since this particular example year.)

This is an excellent opportunity for Christian fellowship of all ages.
