We are very pleased to announce that this year’s CRIM retreat speaker is the Rev. Glenn Palmberg, immediate past President of the Evangelical Covenant Church. This will be his first public speaking engagement since his retirement. We look forward to having Glenn and Sharon with us in September.
Our hosts will be Covenant Pines and, as was the case last year, there will be a free will offering for the camp to cover the cost of the retreat rather than a registration fee.
Please come prepared to donate as generously as possible to the ministry of Covenant Pines. We will be hearing from our new camp director Dave Cairns during our retreat.
CRIM is important to the Northwest Conference. This year our Superintendent, Rev. Mark Stromberg, will be joining us Thursday evening for conversation and then a more formal report and meditation during the service of Holy Communion on Friday morning.
Finally, a note about the very low cost of our retreat. CRIM has received a very generous gift from a family who deeply respects and loves the pastors and missionaries from our Conference. This gift covers the cost of speakers (and their spouses) including travel expenses. Thus, CRIM attendees are responsible only for the retreat costs and Covenant Pines has graciously agreed to a free will offering. We are so grateful for God’s blessings and for your service. We look forward to seeing you in September.
