Registration Open For October All-Church Retreat

October 10 through 12, 2025
Lazy F Camp & Retreat Center, Ellensburg

Join us in October at Lazy F for our annual family-friendly, connectional All-Church Retreat! This year, Tumwater UMC will be joining us for a time for rest and renewal – we invite you to leave behind the rush and demands of everyday life and come along to a place where you can encounter God, others, and creation! Supervised activities for kids** and youth will be held so that parents and guardians can participate with Pastor Jim and Pastor Kellen. There will be plenty of free time to spend as individuals and families exploring the camp and participating in the adventure courses! And we’ll have a campfire (weather permitting), singing, s’mores (yum!), and lots of fun and fellowship.

What the World Needs Now: In our time with Pastor Jim and Pastor Kellen, we’ll discern how God has equipped us with spiritual gifts and the power of the Holy Spirit to share with the world around us. The counter-cultural fruits of the spirit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control – are in short supply right now, but just what the world needs.

Our retreat will be held at the beautiful Lazy F Camp & Retreat Center near Ellensburg. Activities begin on Friday evening, October 10, and continue through worship on Sunday, October 12. Please fill out the registration information below. Once completed, turn it in to the church office. If you have questions, contact Terry Bolender at tbolender@kentmethodist.com. Be sure to register right away.
