This New Life adventure is sure to be a treat! We will be spending the weekend at the Greenawalt's Cabin high on Tussey Mountain. The weather outside might be frightful (which would be great), but the fire inside will keep us toasty warm. Peaceful, wide-open scenery awaits us. Breathtaking views from atop Tussey Mountain will bring lasting memories. Then after a full day outside, Snowball fighting, hiking, and playing around we'll enjoy the great fun in the warm, rustic, mountain cabin. Throughout the weekend we will spend time together with God and learn just exactly what it means to fellowship together in God’s Word. Pack a bag, strap on the hiking boats, and throw the heavy coat on, then join us on a winter adventure.
