PARISH RETREAT

kanuga.jpg

Dear Parishioners of St. John’s,

 

For many years the annual parish retreat was a much beloved event in the life of our parish. Before the pandemic we were planning on bringing back this time for faith and fellowship with over 80 people signed up to attend.

 

Now that we are in the safe zone to continue these activities we are so excited to announce that the Annual Parish Retreat is back on!

 

Join us for a fun family friendly event! Let your kids roam free! Go swimming in a lake or take out a canoe. Sit on a screened in porch with friends and laugh together. Renew your faith in the beauty of the North Carolina Mountains. Reconnect with God and your parish family. Meet new people and create relationships that will last a lifetime.

 

Faithfully,

The Rev. Peter Floyd

Rector
