Because hospitals no longer call Pastor as it interferes with patient privacy, the Pastor asks the family of anyone in the hospital to please call him. Rev. Shambora may be reached at 570-371-8123

SKY LAKE
The annual Peckville UMC winter retreat at Sky Lake is approaching fast. The retreat runs Friday evening Jan 30st through Sunday early afternoon Feb 1st. Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center is located north of Binghamton NY just off or Rt. 17.
The weekend can be a time to relax, a time to enjoy outdoor winter activities, or a little of both it is up to you. Sledding, nature walks, possibly ice skating are just a few of the outdoor activities.
Friday evening you will find the group roasting hotdogs and marshmallows at the large fireplace. This also is where most of us congregate during the weekend. Games and music are impromptu and usually ongoing. Enjoy fellowship, singing or the peace that getting away for a while can bring. All the meals are provided by the great Sky Lake staff (three on Saturday and two on Sunday). Don’t get the idea that at Sky Lake Camp and Retreat Center you will be staying in drafty camp cabins. The facilities are modern and clean. The food is simple and delicious.
Give this weekend a try. We know that you will want to come back year after year once you have experienced Sky Lake through nature and Christian fellowship.
The cost for the weekend is:
Ages 3 - 12 $49.00
Ages 13 and up $96.00
