We’re heading to Pinecrest Northwoods for the very first time, and we’re inviting you to come along. This peaceful spot in Republic, Michigan is the perfect backdrop for what we’re praying will be a weekend of renewal, rest, and real connection. Our theme this year is Resting in Servanthood…a reminder that we don’t serve from striving, we serve from abiding. God is calling us to slow down and let His presence be the place we move from.
Throughout the weekend we’ll spend time in the Word, in worship, and in community... and we’ll leave room to rest, laugh, reflect, and just be. Whether you’re soaking in the sauna, journaling by the lake, hiking a trail, or sitting with a friend…you’ll find space to exhale.
Theme Verse
Matthew 11:28–29 (ESV)
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.”
