New Ferry Beach Weekend (May 8-10). Sign up now!
May 8 - May 10
This year our Ferry Beach Weekend is May 8th-10th, 2026. Our traditional September weekend was not available. Ferry Beach staff originally offered September 11-13, but that date conflicted with our Ingathering Service. We will be sharing the May 8 – 10 weekend with the UU churches in Bedford, MA and Keene, NH. We are excited about these new partners and the wonderful possibilities this new date offers. Don’t miss out!
Registration is now open. You can register at: https://ferry-beach-retreat-conference center.bookinglayer.com/en/product/np-of-no-andover-uu. All accommodations are “first come, first served”. Select the lodging of your choice. We only ask that you not choose lodging in the Kelly or Morris buildings as those two buildings are being reserved for the youth.
Ferry Beach is a retreat community center with 32 acres,19 buildings and 1000 feet of beach front in Saco, Maine. It’s a lovely destination for renewal and rejuvenation with your church family through such activities as the annual talent/no talent show, beach strolls and nature walks, pickleball and volleyball, bike rides, swimming (for the brave of heart), board games, campfires, poetry readings, and much more. We’ll share meals in the dining hall and close the weekend with a beautiful outdoor church service. You can come for the weekend or just for the day on Saturday, May 9th. If you plan to join just for the day, make sure to choose “commuter” on the online registration form. You will also need to check the box for a Saturday night stay for the registration to go through. However, you won’t be charged for lodging. Jan Jones and Keith Connors are your weekend coordinators. If you have any questions, email them at FerryBeach@northparish.org.
