Valle Vidal

The summer board meeting is open to everyone and will be held in an eco-friendly board room, the Valle Vidal. Along with discussions of regular business, we will take some time to enjoy God’s creation and fly-fish for native Rio Grande cutthroat trout. Plan to spend the night in or near the Valle Vidal and enjoy an evening of fellowship and worship. Contact Lance Cherry, lance@crosshairsforchrist.org for more information.
