FPC Labor Day Retreat Registration Link
Join us for the 2024 FPC Labor Day Retreat at the picturesque Menucha Retreat & Conference Center in the Columbia Gorge from Friday, August 30 to Sunday, September 1. Everyone is invited to attend! We are delighted to host Rev. Joyce Emery from East Woods Presbyterian in Vancouver as our guest speaker, exploring biblical narratives on Life-Transitions.
This weekend offers activities suitable for all abilities and ages, including insightful discussions, peaceful reflection, outdoor adventures, and opportunities to connect with fellow church members.
Whether you join us for the entire weekend with overnight accommodations, as a Saturday commuter, or for the Sunday Barbeque Picnic Lunch, you will find something fun for everyone.
This year, we are pleased to offer regular rooms and the Creevey Complex (deluxe accommodations) within three pricing tiers for our Labor Day Retreat. The first tier is need-based, the second tier is the standard price of the rooms, and the third tier represents a maximum rate that includes donations allocated for scholarships. Please select the tier that aligns best with your financial situation. If Tier 1 pricing would pose a barrier to your attendance, kindly contact Sheila in communications via email. She will facilitate a discussion with Pastor Brenna regarding scholarship opportunities.
If you are unable to join us the entire weekend, we will have a limited number of commuter spaces (10) for Saturday, August 31. Lunch and dinner will be provided.
We will also have our annual Barbeque Picnic Lunch on Sunday, September 1. Please note that this event is separate and NOT included in the price of the retreat.
