RETREATS FOR CHURCH PROFESSIONALS
Why Fight It? Or, said another way, wi-fi(t) it? Technology and Youth Ministry
Let's be honest - there are kids in our congregations who rarely pass through the doors, who don't have a "regular" spot to sit, but who still long to be a part of a community of faith, even if they don't know it.
2nd Annual Youth-a-Palooza
Second annual means the same great opportunity as last year with all new ideas.
WOMEN'S RETREATS
Crafty Chicks
Ladies, grab your scrapbookin' paper, your knitting needles, your sewing machines, your stamps, your beads, grab whatever you need for the crafting passion of your choice. Just come, set up, and craft away--enjoy the unique setting of Joy Ranch and the delicious food prepared by Chef Ben Richardson!
