The welcome and evening program begins at 7:30 p.m. and continues until 9:30. The evening ends with evening worship followed by social time in our Trading Post. Each morning, a buffet breakfast (7:30-9:00) will precede the morning program of two sessions. The served lunch in the dining room occurs at 12:30 and a breakout session follows. Free time for several hours in the afternoon is the perfect opportunity to play, enjoy the beach, or take a well-deserved nap! Dinner is served at 6:00 and evening entertainment, a campfire and other activities fill the evening. Check-out is after Bible study, worship and lunch on Sunday afternoon.
God’s Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary Men
To read the biblical story is to read of the God whose extraordinary grace pursues ordinary people who struggled with personal failures, family problems, loneliness, and a long list of other weakness and challenges. Their stories are still our stories today. And their God is still our God. We will immerse ourselves in these biblical narratives to better understand who we are, who our Savior is, and how the Old Testament continues to testify to the Lord of mercy.
