Fall Christian Conference
“Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him” Col 2:7 Romans 11:16
This weekend is designed for all different Christians from new Christians to clergy, the young to the young at heart and of course it is a valuable experience for vestry members and lay readers. Come by yourself or bring a friend, family member or a member of your congregation. It will be rewarding and refreshing for Christians who want to learn more and have closer walk with Jesus.
