Everything You Need to Know About Our Camping Trip
April 12th, 2018 | Daniel Read
At Austin Mustard Seed, we prioritize building relationships with each other and God. Relationships take time, which is why we love camping together.
You can look forward to sitting around the campfire, long hikes and lots of laughs.
What to Expect
The camping trip is meant to be an “extended Sabbath.” Come early, stay late and relax.
This is an informal camping trip. Everything is “BYO”. Bring your own food, water, tent, etc. But remember, it’s nice to share!Camping may not be your thing. That’s okay! Please consider coming out on Saturday to spend the day with our community.
The only scheduled time will be Saturday at 6pm when we’ll have dinner and Liturgy together. Dinner is provided.
This is an all ages and all species trip! Human and fur babies are welcome.
Palmetto State Park features fishing holes, paddle boats, places to swim and more, so have fun! Life is busy and we don’t always have time to dig into important things. This is a great time to hear someone’s life story, catch up on a book, or focus on praying with others.
