We would like to thank everyone who registered for the fall retreat for Western Region Worship. Unfortunately, due to lack of sufficient registrations to make the event viable, the members of the regional worship task force believe that it is best to cancel the retreat.

Of course we are disappointed to announce this because we were looking forward to having Dan Wilt come and share with us. We would like to thank Dan for his helpfulness and willingness to contribute to the event. We hope that we can bring him down for a different type of weekend event in our region soon.

Refunds

Any of you who have paid a deposit or the full registration fee will receive a refund in 7-10 business days. Any questions regarding refunds or anything else about the event can be directed at worship@vineyardwestern.com
