Windermere Retreat

All BCS events have a primary focus of Bible study, worship, and prayer.

Windermere:

Three-day annual retreat in the Lake of the Ozarks at the 1,300-acre Windermere Conference and Retreat Center. Usually the first weekend in June, this conference proves to be a spiritual supercharge for all who participate. The weekend activities includes: dynamic speakers, praise & worship, 6:30 a.m. prayer and testimonies, dramatic presentations and/or gospel concerts, mass choir, free time, and fellowship with other believers. This low-cost weekend includes all meals, lodging, and conference activities.

Make plans for next year's Windermere retreat -- our 25th Anniversary!

Our 24th Annual retreat was held May 29-June 1, 2008. You'll find pictures from the retreat on the home page or see them here. Past retreat and Single@Sea cruises can be seen on our Gallery page.

This year's theme was “The Work of Our Hands” based on Psalm 90:17 (NIV):

 17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us;
       establish the work of our hands for us—
       yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17 (NIV)
