Retreat, contemplate, share, recreate. All Congregation Retreat, September 10–12, 2013 - Do you want to enjoy the North Carolina Mountains as summer ends and fall begins? Do you want to get to know better others you meet at Community United Church of Christ activities? Do you want to relax, look into the distance and center yourself in preparation for what’s next for you or the congregation?  For any or all of these  reasons, come to a two day congregational retreat at the UCC Blowing Rock Conference Center (BRCC, formerly Blowing Rock Assembly Grounds or BRAG), where we can get to know each other better and talk about our lives and ministries. We will leave Raleigh on Tuesday, September 10, plan to be at BRCC the nights of September 10 and 11, and return to Raleigh September 12 mid-day. Retreat leadership:  Steve Halsted, Ursula Schmitt-Pridik. If you are interested, pick up a green form on the back table of the church sanctuary (or fill in the one below) and turn in your form and deposit to the Church Office, Carol Clark, or Marty Lamb.  Deposit checks for $50/person should be made out to CUCC with “September retreat” in the memo field (refunds possible up to mid-August if your plans change).
