Grow in Faith Event in Charlottesville | |
First Presbyterian Church Charlottesville invites you to a transformative weekend featuring a workshop, a presentation, worship, and fellowship with two of the leading voices in theological education, Tom and Kim Long. Whether you're seeking to deepen your faith, expand your biblical understanding, or simply enjoy a day of community, this weekend promises something special for everyone. | |
Women's Retreat at Camp Hanover | |
Step out of your usual routine. Gather near Camp Hanover’s lake. Reflect on the gift and responsibility of water in connection to the places in our lives where we feel parched and distressed, and the places we find nourishment and refreshment. We’ll find time to rest and recreate, connect and be quiet, pray and play.
This weekend of faith and fellowship in the beautiful setting of Camp Hanover helps women get away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. We take care of the details, so you can relax and enjoy time away. Retreat leaders are Rev. Carla Pratt Keyes of Ginter Park Church and Allison El Koubi. Come alone, or with friends!

New Stewardship Resource
Tailored specifically for pastors and lay leaders navigating the delicate task of stewardship, God’s Gift of Generosity transcends the mundane “how” of giving to explore the profound “why” behind our acts of generosity, making the “how” a much easier task. Expand the use of this book through a comprehensive group discussion and planning guide that assists you as you develop your generosity program.
