Schedule of Events
Below is the tentative schedule of activities. Some items may change due to weather or other factors. Most activities are optional — though we would love to have full participation at our morning Convocations. Some activities are listed as "out-of-pocket," which means the cost for participation will not be covered by Mercy Collective.
