Together we’ll enjoy comfortable accommodations and terrific home cooked meals. We’ll spend time discussing God’s Word and share in new ideas while fellowshipping with women who share a passion for scrapbooking. Location: Manor Lodge.

The books and movies come alive during this cosplay weekend as we relate the story of a certain boy wizard to the story of Jesus. Harry was the chosen one, gave his life for his friends and others, and along the way taught those around him what it was to love fully and live one's life for the sake of others. Sound familiar? Join us for an epic weekend filled with amazing fun you'll experience through activities related to the books and faith discoveries you’ll explore during Bible study that tie in themes from this beloved story.

A series of retreats throughout 2023, focusing on the three beautiful elements of water, wind, and flame. All three of these elements are represented in the scripture as having an intimate relationship with humanity through God’s presence. All three can be powerful, gentle, unpredictable, and constant. You’re invited to step into the flow of these elements and explore what they have to teach us about God and our relationship with creation and each other. Beth Jones, of Deep Green Journey, will guide you through each Thursday evening to Saturday morning retreat. We invite you to attend the whole series or attend any weekend as a stand-alone personal retreat. All retreats will happen in Penns Creek Lodge with double occupancy max rooms. Register for these retreats and learn more at www.deeepgreenjourney.com.
