Friends,
Reunion season is approaching! Our theme this year is “Heal the Earth: A Restoration Imperative” with directors Nancy Ross and Molly Wilkins. Our guest minister is Barb Walden, Executive Director of the Community of Christ Historic Sites Foundation. Paul Bethel, who serves on the North American Climate Justice Team, will be leading our adult class. We are so excited for the wisdom both Barb and Paul will bring to our reunion. We look forward to spending time with them through learning, worship, and fellowship Under the Pines.
Registration for reunion is open! The cost per night is $66 per adult and $54 per youth. This comes out to $330/adult and $270/youth for the entire reunion. Kids under 3 are free. The cost per day (no overnight) is $25 per person. All are invited to join us for the full week or even just a day or two.
