ARBORFEST

ARBORFEST is an opportunity to gather our key partners at Iona House for a festival of celebration, thanksgiving, and the sharing of vision for the upcoming season. It is a time to hear stories of God’s faithfulness, fellowship together, and experience a taste of the ongoing life of Iona House alongside others.

Note that ARBORFEST is by invitation only
