Brick Church - Fall Retreat

You are invited to come for a weekend of relaxation, reflection, fellowship and worship in an intimate setting, surrounded by stunning fall colors. All are welcome to The Brick Church Fall Retreat, including children, young adults, families and PrimeTimers. This year’s theme is Peace I Give To You.

On Friday, October 24, Brick Church members and friends will assemble at the Presbyterian Center at Holmes (55 miles north of New York City). Holmes is a 550–acre camp and conference center surrounded by forests, lakes, cliffs, trails and wetlands in the lower Hudson River Valley. The camp’s location provides a beautiful view of the area and the spectacular change of colors in the fall.

The retreat begins at 7:00 p.m. Friday evening and finishes with lunch on Sunday. Sunday morning will include a time of intergenerational worship that has been a highlight of the retreat for the past two years.

This year’s adult speakers will be our own Brick Church clergy. Michael Lindvall, Doug King and Christy Lang will each lead the group in Bible study and discussion. During adult times, the children and youth will have their own activities, planned and led by Georgia Meeter, Christy Lang and our seminary student ministers. Families and friends can spend free time together in the afternoon, during which they can participate in activities for the whole church family.

Registration forms will arrive in the mail in early summer. Forms with payment are due by September 21 to The Brick Church, attn. Caitlin Sparks. If you have questions, please contact Rev. Christy Lang.
