Keswick Conference Center, Memorial Day Weekend w/ DAVE EDWARDS! (WHITING)

UPDATE: The rooms are filling up (not surprisingly since Dave Edwards is the speaker.) If you want a room with a private bath, there is now a waitlist. The only ones left are in Victory Hall which has shared bathrooms. There is also a camping option.

*******************************************

Come join us for a Memorial Day Weekend at Keswick.

JAARS (Jungle Aviation and Relay Service) will be there. Come out and enjoy a helicopter ride!

There will be a Patriotic Memorial Day service followed by Keswick’s Memorial Day barbecue.

There will also be a Keswick choir celebration concert.

Maybe go for a dip in the pool or a walk around Keswick’s beautiful lake and grounds. My favorite attraction for the weekend is the worship services with our guest speaker--our one and only David Edwards… love this man he is the best!!!

Weekend accommodations will be available. However, if you'd only like to come for the day (Saturday), day passes are available.

A team from JAARS will be at America’s Keswick over Memorial Day weekend to chat and share about their mission and how you can help cover the last mile of missions. Helicopter rides will also be available.
