Out Adult Spring Retreat is Back – Now is the time to reserve your place!
Our popular spring retreat, which has been postponed the last several years because of Covid restrictions, is returning this spring!
This 3-day retreat will be held at The Trinity Center at Pine Knoll Shores beginning on Friday, April 21 to Sunday, April 23, 2023. The Trinity Center is only an hour’s drive to Atlantic Beach, NC. It is strategically situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Bogue Sound offering a beautiful setting that vibrates with the energy of God’s natural world. The single and double rooms are comfortably appointed with private baths; healthy food is served in gracious surroundings; the quiet, peaceful setting inspires listening deeper for the Spirit’s stirrings in one’s soul.
This experience is a special opportunity for deepening one’s consent to God’s presence and action in daily life. For more information, please contact Lloyd Griffith. Letters of Intent to participate in this retreat are available at the Receptionist’s Desk in the Ministry Center at First Presbyterian Church.

Montreat Women’s Connection 2023!

Women’s Connection 2023 will be a time for women to connect with old and new friends, a time to care for themselves, a time for space and Sabbath. As in years past, we will do this together through powerful and authentic worship led by women, space for honest and faithful conversation, and allowing time for discernment and renewing rest. Our hope is you will experience spiritual nourishment, inspiration, discernment- and JOY!

Looking forward to another wonderful year!
