Some weekend highlights the kids will enjoy are: zip line, climbing wall, riflery, chapel times, crafts, campfire donuts, nature center and horseback rides.  The weekend cost is $65.

The cost is $90 with a $25 (non-refundable) deposit due at registration. If you are interested in going, there is information on the table in the foyer at both campuses and a sign up sheet.

The weekend sounds like fun! Here is a little excerpt: “We are so excited for you to join us for our “{Re} Purposed Life” Ladies Retreat. A gifted team of ladies have been hard at work making plans for an enjoyable weekend that you will be talking about for some time! We know that God can use our time together to reignite relationships with each other and with God. We can hardly wait!

When you arrive at Big Sandy, and after unpacking your luggage and settling into your home away from home, you can have a warm bowl of soup and salad around the cozy fireplace. The first session is scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. Friday night. Come prepared for a good time.”
