Come, enjoy the comforts of Janeen’s cottage (complete with central air conditioning and bunkbeds), all your meals, rest, relaxation and Bible study.

Praise and worship led by John Jurewicz will preceed our studies of the servant leader, Jesus Christ.

In between the times of teaching, there will be opportunities for rest, relaxation, and fellowship.  On Saturday night we will go out to dinner as a group away from the Bonclarken Center.

Carpools will be coordinated closer to the retreat. Folks are responsible for their meals to and from the retreat center as well as the Saturday night meal when we go out to eat at a local resturant.

Total cost: $130, made payable to Richland Creek Community Church. $60 deposit due by Sunday, August 9th, with the remainder due by Sunday, August 23rd. (Limited partial scholarships are available.)
