Hello! Most of us just got back from our annual Winter Retreat, and i think it is safe to say that we all had an awesome time! Through the messages, the testimonies, and the times of bonding, there is just so much to look back on and really get out of our time up at Alliance Redwoods. If you weren’t able to make it, hopefully you can join us next year! Here are some pictures from this past weekend.
We would love to hear from you on what you got out of the retreat, some great moments, or something that you will remember for a long time. Feel free to share and leave a comment!
