Kingdom Weekend: A Ministry of
Grace Lutheran Church

February 15 -17, 2008

Kingdom Weekend is a lay directed renewal that offers Christians an opportunity to look inward and take an inventory of their priorities, to consider ways to draw closer to Christ, to talk, to sing, and to worship together.

Where will the Kingdom Weekend be held?
The weekend will be held at the Salvation Army Camp Arnold at Timberlake near Eatonville. In the shadow of Mt. Rainier, the camp is surrounded by natural beauty: 600 acres of evergreens; meadows; and the peaceful waters of Trout Lake.

The setting inspires worship and communicates the beauty and wonder of God’s creation.

          Facilities provide for: 

                                      Fellowship
                                      Sharing
                                      Support
                                      Joy
                                      Fun
                                      Singing
                                      Peace
                                      Recreation

What is the cost of the retreat?
The Kingdom Weekend is a ministry of Grace Lutheran Church, which is offered as a free gift to all who attend. Our hope is that if you feel so led, you will help sponsor others on following weekends, by serving on a team, praying for us, or with financial support.
