What will happen on this retreat?
Join us for an ice cream social on August 13 from 4-5 pm in the Grace Great Room. Do you have an ice cream maker at home? Churn up a batch, and bring it to share. Don’t have a mixer? Bring your favorite store bought flavor, or just come and enjoy what others bring.
The deacons are sponsoring this event and encourage you to join us for fellowship and ice cream. We’re socializing inside because of the heat, and we’ll gather around tables in the Great Room. You are welcome to bring a lawn chair if you want to create the feeling of sitting on the lawn.
