It is our purpose to provide a ministry that will challenge adults to establish and develop a
personal relationship with Christ our Lord, experience unconditional acceptance, and learn more
about God through Bible study, devotions, singing, prayer, fun, fellowship and faith sharing. It
is an opportunity to be in community quite apart from the pressures, demands, and stereotypes of
everyday living with old and new friends. These retreats include teaching sessions, free time to
enjoy the beautiful outdoors, fellowship along with delicious, nutritious meals, and we do the
dishes!

Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
Do you feel that you are missing out on something really important because there are not enough hours in the day? Do you feel that you are just too tired to add one more thing into your schedule? Do you long to spend more time at Jesus feet like Mary, but you live in a Martha world?
Please join us as we explore the life and relationship between two sisters, Mary and Martha and learn about having a Mary heart in a Martha world. Luke 10:38-42
