Make space on your calendar for our annual retreat from Feb. 28 to March 1, 2009.

We will once again be going to Wesley Forest (see Web site).
The weekend will be filled with group discussion, self-discovery, food, fellowship, and plenty of time to relax in the outdoors by hiking through the woods, enjoying the quiet, playing football or just sitting by a roaring fire. Cost will be under $99 for the weekend.
