Founder's Weekend: All You Need Is Love:
2008 Parish Retreat to Kanuga
St. B’s is taking a road trip September 5-7.
We are retreating as a parish for the first time to the North Carolina Mountains for a weekend of cultivating new relationships, strengthening existing bonds, and celebrating our Life in Christ as a community of believers drawn together not only by shared interests but by shared passions.
We have a fun and dynamic weekend planned for children, youth and adults.
