How about a church retreat?

 

Many of the people attending Prineville Christian Church have never seen Wilderness Lakes Campground.  All while we give our time and support to join their work parties and even a portion of our giving goes to the camp.  My hope is that this year we can share our passion for the camp with more people.  Having a church camp connection is a great opportunity to have.

           

The camp is a connection point to other churches in Central Oregon.  The camp is owned and operated by churches.  Meaning the money, time and planning benefits many of the churches in the area including ours!  Hopefully we can start a new tradition of attending camp each year.

           

The best part of Central Oregon is the wilderness.  Many other churches travel beyond state lines to reach places like this.  Regardless of whether you are climbing the mountain Three-Fingered Jack, hiking the trails or jumping into the cold mountain lakes, we can rest and find God among the wilderness.  Maybe you will find connection with God over a cup of coffee looking over the quiet forest.  Or even fellowship with His people.  Possibly, you are like me and just need to escape the business of life.  Attending camp is just that kind of place.

           

“Now even more the report about (Jesus) went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear Him and to be healed of their infirmities.  But He would withdraw to desolate places and pray.”  Luke 5:15-16

 

What would Jesus do?  He would often withdraw.  That might actually mean it’s Biblical to go to church camp.  I say that humorously but even Jesus needed time to connect with God and recharge.  I hope camp can become that for you as well.
