It's time to sign up for the VBC Worship Retreat!
This weekend is a mandatory time to get away from the bills, laundry, yard work, and everything else to be set aside for a time of refreshing, preparing our souls for another season and connecting as a team. This year's retreat, the 24th annual retreat, will be held at the Doubletree Inn in Rohnert Park on the weekend of September 12-14th. We feel this is such an important time for the ministry and it's really important that YOU are a part of it! If you have a scheduling conflict, i.e. a family wedding, contact Rebecca or Cheryl right away. Otherwise, we expect you to get this on your calendar and get registered!
Paying for retreat. As you well know, the cost for everything is skyrocketing and hotel food and stays are no different. We were able to secure the best value at the Doubletree Hotel in Rohnert Park, but even with that, the cost per person came to $490. The leadership team has been praying for a way to make this possible for you all to attend. We have been brainstorming fundraising ideas and looking at ways to cut costs. But God... He had other plans. He has once again used people in and close to the Worship Ministry to make a sizable donation- so big that we feel we can confidently reduce the cost per person to $390. This includes two nights in a four-star hotel with beautiful amenities, a luxurious meeting space, hotel-quality breakfasts and dinner, and a fun lunch at Mary's Pizza Shack on their private patio, not to mention all our retreat surprises and goodies. We give Him all the thanks and praise!!! We are convinced that God has set aside this time and place for us and and we are prayerfully anticipating that God will meet us there.
We have set up a suggested payment plan to help break down the payments into more manageable pieces. Even with this donation and payment plan, we don't want finances to be the reason you don't attend. If you need a partial scholarship, let us know by July 1, as monies are limited. In contrast, if you would like to help someone get to retreat, let us know or even cover the full $490 cost when you register and we'll use the difference to help someone out.
