Providence Reformed Church invites you to a Family Conference to be held at Camp Greenwood on August 12-15, 2008. This camp is located in Gowen, MI, which is northeast of Grand Rapids, near Greenville. The dual goal for this family conference is, first, to provide scriptural instruction concerning “Family and Conflict/Peacemaking” and secondly, to promote fellowship among the families of the Reformed Churches.
The camp offers a variety of clean, comfortable lodging for guests. Accommodations include lake-side cabins, each with its own bathroom and shower (one family per cabin, unless you request otherwise), or campground sites with electric hookup. Restrooms and shower facilities are located near the campground area. A 4-bedroom lodge, with bathrooms and sitting area is available for older people, or those with medical needs.
It is a beautiful setting where we can come to be taught in God’s Word, fellowship together, and enjoy the wonders of God’s creation!
