PASTOR’S CORNER

Sometimes life surprises us with unexpected twists and turns. Many of these are joyful surprises but there are also times when we find ourselves caught off guard and wonder how we ended up where we did!…

2026 Lenten Offerings Benefit Holden Village!

Located in the heart of Washington’s North Cascades Mountains, Holden Village is an iconic retreat center that offers visitors a unique opportunity to step into the wilderness to form and renew their relationship with God, the earth, and each other.

In December 2025, Holden experienced extreme flooding and the only road into the village was washed out. Villagers and guests were air evacuated. Five Holden Village staff members returned to the Village on January 1, 2026 via helicopter to establish a long term winter caretaker team.

At this time the village will not be able to accept guests through the summer 2026. The loss of income and community are difficult to fully grasp. It is our hope that our offerings will help the Village recover and return to a place where all can come and grow deeper to God and one another living in intentional community.

Thank you for your prayers and support.
