Journey

VHBC Anniversary Retreat

Shocco Springs Retreat Center

January 14-15

Retreat Theme

We have a rich, shared history as the people of God, and our journey together is of great significance. At our retreat, we will be looking back at some of the journeys in scripture and remembering some of the points on our own VHBC journey to draw wisdom and inspiration for the road we travel today. 

• Bible study sessions for adults, youth and children
• Time to relax and visit with friends, new and old
• Optional free-time activities for all ages, including Pictures from Our Past, Basketball Tourney, Fireside Hot Chocolate and more

 

Check-in

Check-in is on the 3rd floor of the Bagley Center from 8:45-9:15 a.m. Follow VHBC signs to the parking lot at the rear of Bagley Center and enter there to find our retreat registration table and to access the guest rooms.
