Hi First Presbyterian Church,

It's hard to believe that the end of summer is already in sight. Familiar routines will be returning soon and kids will be going back to school. I always feel a little sadness with the end of summer fun. But with September right around the corner, I have something to look forward to!

Our Rooted in Faith Intergenerational Retreat in Painted Post, NY, is happening from Friday, September 11, through Sunday, September 13. That's only three weeks away! But don't worry - there is still room for you to register!

This retreat at the Y at Watson Woods is designed for anyone in the church who is looking to deepen their spiritual lives while creating and deepening relationships with others in our church family. Whether you are younger or older, a family or a couple or a single - this retreat is for you! We will be sharing meals together, enjoying the beautiful scenery at the camp, and spending intentional time during workshops and activities to deepen our faith in Christ. Aaron Neff will be leading workshops for adults focused on deepening our devotion to Christ, and Paula Dugan will be leading lessons and activities for kids and teens focused on being Christians at the beginning of a new school year.

The cost is just $300 to register, which gets your entire party one hotel room (with 2 queen beds), all your meals for the retreat, access to retreat activities, and all the materials for the retreat.

Reach out to Paula Dugan (paula.dugan@pittsfordpres.org) to register today, while there is still time!

I hope you will join us for this special time of community, faith, and fellowship.

Peace,
Aaron
