WINTER RETREAT!

2025  4:12 Winter Retreat

 

This is year three of our 4:12 Winter Weekend. Every Winter, we get away for a time of fun and fellowship as we unite to grow and be challenged in our faith! Again this year, we will have the 4:12 Winter Retreat at Ridge Haven in Cono, IA on February 8-9 2025.


Students will be responsible for arranging their transportation to the camp, which is about 30 min from Marion (3269 Quasqueton Ave #9623, Walker, IA 52352).  


Check-ins will begin on Saturday at 1:30 pm and pick up at 1:30 pm on Sunday.


This will be a great time to get away from the routine to grow closer to God and each other.
