Cedar in September
Mariners' Cove September 10-15, 2023
Cedar in September is an adult retreat that focuses on respite and renewal. This time has been shaped to offer rest in the midst of God’s creation, and opportunities for sharpening through fellowship with His people.
Our Bible-focused sessions are complemented with opportunities for small group reflection and discussion. This is a time to be still, worship God through hymns, and bask in God’s handiwork.
