SUMMARY:Hearts & Hands: A Gathering of Artisans
DESCRIPTION:Step away from the noise and into a sacred space of creativity\, community\, and worship. Whether you’re kneading sourdough\, painting\, crafting with clay\, or sanding a charcuterie board\, this weekend retreat is for makers of all kinds—those who create with their hands and long to be formed by the hands of the Creator.\n  \n  \n\n\nSpeaker: Tucker Rodkey\nI agreed to go with my art teacher to Philly where we spent the afternoon painting large scale oil paintings that were modern retellings of biblical parables. The conversations flowed so naturally. That’s when the lightning bolt hit. WHAT IF WE USED ART TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL? When I was 18 I dropped out of college and began living out of my car\, traveling the East Coast of the US\, sharing the Gospel through speed painting on boardwalks\, street corners and churches. Two years later I launched Painting Freedom Ministries\, a Christian Arts non profit dedicated to spreading the Gospel through the art. Since launching Painting Freedom I have had the opportunity to travel all across the United States\, speaking at churches\, conferences\, schools\, outreaches\, festivals and even living room gatherings. \n  \n\n\nMusic & Worship by: Garden State Worship Collective\nThe ministry of the collective is to raise up and unite worship leaders to create a dynamic community committed to leading God’s people into His presence through worship. Comprised of musicians from multiple churches around the Garden State\, we seek to provide a nurturing environment for spiritual birth\, growth\, and renewal\, fostering a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus as worship leads the way. We believe in the power of unity and collaboration\, fostering a community who are passionate about serving God and His people. We believe that together we can achieve far more than we can alone. \n  \nChoose from five hands-on artisan paths:\n🧺 Sourdough Breadmaking \n🎨 Painting \n🎁 Polymer Clay Earrings & Jewelry Design \n🪵 Charcuterie Board Crafting (Woodworking) \n🛁 Natural Soaps\, Bath Bombs & Body Products \nYour weekend includes your chosen path of 4 immersive workshops led by skilled instructors\, main sessions for worship & biblical teaching\, devotions\, all meals\, and rich fellowship woven throughout. Saturday evening will feature our festive Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration\, ending the evening with holiday wonder and joy! \nChildren’s Ministry available during main Worship & Teaching Sessions only. \nPricing:\n$75 per person per path + choice of room below\, (no children’s rates available but children over 10 are welcome to join a path with their parent or guardian).\nDouble Occupancy – D | Single Occupancy – S\nPrivate Bathroom – PB | Hall Bathroom – HB \nSaint Memorial (PB)         $150 D    $225 S     $100 each additional person (5 max)\nRaws Memorial (PB)         $150 D    $225 S    $100 each additional person (3 or 4 max depend on Raws room)\nRaws Memorial (HB)        $125 D    $200 S\nVictory Hall (HB)               $125 D    $200 S \nCall 800.453.7942 to book your weekend stay!\n*Pricing and schedule is subject to change*

SUMMARY:Christmas Dinner Concert
DESCRIPTION:  \nfeaturing Steve Green\nThe son of missionary parents\, Steve was raised in South America. “My initial recognition of need for Christ was at age 8 while attending a boarding school in Argentina. On a Sunday afternoon\, I knelt by my bed and prayed\, trusting Jesus as my Savior. However\, that was just the beginning of a grace-filled journey. Today the gospel is more precious to me than ever. I realize that God’s grip on me far surpasses my ability to hold on to Him.”\n\nAs Steve celebrates 38 years in the Christian music industry\, he fondly remembers his fledgling beginning in 1984 when Steve Green Ministries was established.\n\nAfter two years in college\, two years with the group TRUTH\, and five years with the Gaithers\, the door opened for Steve to make his first recording with Sparrow Records. Following a significant spiritual awakening\, Steve and Marijean began responding to invitations from churches all over America. “Looking back on it\,” Steve recalls\, “I’m amazed at God’s patience and condescending love. In my case it is certainly true that God delights in choosing the least likely. In my early years I was full of zeal and determined to get it all right\, but blind to much self-righteousness and pharisaical pride. Thank God for His continuing mercy!”\n\nThroughout his years of ministry\, Steve has been honored with 4 Grammy nominations\, 18 No. 1 songs\, 7 Dove Awards\, and has been inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame. With over 40 recordings to his credit\, including children’s projects and Spanish-language albums\, Green has sold over 3 million albums worldwide.\nSteve and Marijean celebrate 45 years of marriage. Summer and Mark Schulz\, along with their three children\, Addy\, Ava and Brice\, live in Atlanta where Mark owns Paint Applicators\, a commercial paint company. Summer is a licensed family and marriage counselor. Josiah and Jamie-Lee Green\, along with their three daughters\, Georgia\, Skye and Ella James live in St. Louis\, Missouri\, where Josiah is the Senior Pastor of Crossroads Presbyterian Fellowship. Jamie-Lee is also a licensed counselor and works in a local counseling center.\n  \nTickets are $25 per person!\nIncludes a delicious dinner\, prepared and served by our Kitchen staff & men in the Colony of Mercy\, and the concert! \n  \nTo purchase your tickets call (800)453-7942!

SUMMARY:Girl Talk
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for some “Girl Talk”! Grab your friends and join us here at America’s Keswick once a month for fellowship\, a delicious meal\, and a message from God’s Word. This is an amazing opportunity to spend time with like-minded sisters in Christ! \n  \nGuest Speaker: Diera Mendez\nDiera Mendez\, MA\, BCMHC\, Co-Executive Director of Hope House for our Families. \n“When I was 16\, I woke up thinking there has to be more to life.  I’ve never been to rehab\, but I lived with my dad who struggled with substances for 15 years. It was terrible! I was angry\, hurt\, and emotionally abandoned. God eventually worked in my heart to forgive\, reconcile\, and live free of the shame and bitterness that comes with loving a substance abuser. Now\, I want to see families overcome this  and stay together. It’s hard work\, but\, with God\, it’s possible.” \nDiera has a heart for hurting women and simply wants to remind them of God’s unchanging\, healing love. After struggling for too many years with low self-worth\, fear\, and far too much anger to carry around any longer\, she learned to find joy and peace in suffering as a result of her relationship with Christ. \nFor over 6 years\, she has ministered as a counselor and group facilitator to women in addiction and wives whose husbands struggle\, while ministering with her husband to the married couples in addiction at America’s Keswick.  She enjoys the opportunity to share her story as a speaker and minister. \nShe has a master’s degree in communication from La Salle University and is pursuing her doctorate at Liberty University in Community Care and Counseling\, Marriage and Family. \nShe is wife and mama\, and enjoys creating things\, planning events\, and trying out new recipes. Diera is a God-fearing\, Starbucks-loving\, tech junkie (…in that order!) \nhttps://www.hopehouseforourfamilies.org/ \n  \n  \nShop with local Craft Vendors at 10 AM \nThe program will begin at 11 AM \nThen we will have a yummy lunch at 12 PM.  \n  \nTickets are $14 per person & includes lunch!\nAdvanced prepaid reservations are required. \n  \nTo purchase tickets call (800) 453-7942!
