This includes a double occupancy room, Friday evening meal, and on Saturday morning a continental breakfast. Register Now! Invite-A-Friend or two. Deadline to register is February 2, 2025, and payment is due by Sunday, February 23, 2025.

To help keep the foyer and the Welcome Center organized, we have purchased new tables. There is now a table for sign-up sheets, a Women's Ministries table, and a missions table. There is also a small table located just to the right of the main church doors for children's activity books and crayons. To assist with keeping these areas clutter free, we are asking that no one brings items to sit on the tables, other than adding secret sister gifts on the Women's Ministries table. We appreciate your assistance in this matter.
