Family Retreat

This intergenerational retreat is open to all families with children or youth, from the nursery-12th grade. We are delighted that Rev. Becca Messman, Senior Pastor at Burke Presbyterian, will be our Family Retreat leader. Becca brings her passion for working with people and churches as we learn how to thrive in today’s culture. With Becca’s help, we will explore the dilemma of keeping your spiritual and loving cup full, while trying to not overflow your cup with all of today’s stresses and activities. Becca will lead us in two workshops on Saturday, full of wisdom, strategies, and joy.
