Arise: Creation & Community
We’re trying something NEW and hope YOU will join us!!!!
Merging God’s glorious creation with community is the heart behind Arise: Creation & Community – A shared outdoor experience that will bring us closer to Christ and closer to one another.
Our FIRST hike will be on Saturday, September 28th beginning at 9am (carpool details to follow) on the Angel’s Rest trail in the stunning Columbia River Gorge. It’s a challenging 5 mile out-and-back trail with 1,500 feet of elevation gain, but the 270-degree views from the top are spectacular and well worth the climb. Be sure to bring warm clothes as the peak can be windy.
