Couple's Retreat 2023You may have heard the phrase – “Come apart before you come apart.” Jesus said something similar to his disciples when he gave this invitation: “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.” (Mark 6:31). Life is demanding and complicated. Without intentional practices of rest and renewal, none of us are able to keep perspective. This is especially true of marriage relationships. Without tending, the spark that brought a couple together can begin to fade. Lake Ann Camp’s Couples Retreat is perfectly designed to stir the embers and reignite the flame.Whether you are just beginning the marriage journey, or have been married for decades, you can expect to be encouraged and filled with hope for the days ahead. Practical messages, engaging activities, and quiet moments provide rest and renewal. Join us at beautiful Lake Ann Camp and discover life at its best.
Dates:#1: March 30-April 1, 2023: Thursday through Saturday with Pat and Marilyn Nemmers as speakers#2: April 21-23: Friday through Sunday with Jason and Meredith Jackson as speakers#3: April 28-30: Friday through Sunday with John and Tami Scally as speakers
