Three nights of rest, worship, and fellowship at Shocco Springs. Everyone is invited.
Labor Day weekend at Shocco Springs: three days of worship, the Word, outdoor time, and fellowship. Whether you've been at NCPC for years or just started visiting, you belong here.
We worship and learn as one body, all ages together. Families, couples, singles — everyone is welcome.
Even if you're new or still getting to know people, this weekend is one of the best ways to be known and to know others.
Scholarships are available. Just check the box on the registration form. It's confidential. We don't want finances to be a barrier to community.

This retreat is an extension of what He does among us every Lord's Day: drawing us near through His Word, shaping us by His Spirit, and binding us together as His covenant family.
"And let us consider how to stir one another up to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together." — Hebrews 10:24–25
