This is a day-long retreat including breakfast & lunch at the camp, family worship at the lakeside chapel, workshops for parents & caregivers and family fun activities including games, zipline and pony rides. Registration is required!!

Help our Neighbors

Given these trying times, many food banks are being overwhelmed. Please help out where you can. You can bring donations to our church services, or to Efland UMC’s food pantry. If you prefer online giving, support these local charities via their donation pages.
