As We Seek Christ Together.

Our Family Retreats are typically run as simple co-ops
where each parent takes on a role as we exhibit "community" to the next generation.
A projected schedule jells into the actual schedule after adults have signed-up for their roles
(Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles, Young adults,... you are also welcome!).
