2009 Winter Retreat

The first post of 2009 concerns our upcoming Winter retreat. You'll be getting all of the paperwork tomorrow at church but I also wanted to post some info here on the blog.

The 2009 Winter Retreat will be held Friday, February 6th through Sunday, February 8th. We already have a cabin reserved up in Big Bear.

INFORMATION: We’ll focus on God’s word with 4 related thematic lessons, participate in team building activities, and have adventures in the snow. We’ll meet at the building on Friday afternoon at 3:30 and we’ll return to the building at 1:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

WHAT TO BRING: yourself, your Bible, warm clothes for Saturday and Sunday, casual clothes for lounging around the cabin, pajamas, bathroom supplies, a sleeping bag, pillow, towel. We’ll be going sledding on Saturday afternoon so bring a warm hat, gloves, sunglasses, scarf or anything else that can aid in keeping you warm! Most of all bring a great attitude and an open heart for learning more about God.

COST: $75 per person (this cost helps cover five meals, snacks, drinks, Saturday afternoon sledding, the cabin rental, study materials, and a t-shirt). Scholarships are available! Do not let the cost stop you from attending this event! I believe this is THE most important event of the entire year!

OTHER DETAILS: Our study and theme for this retreat will be HERE AND NOW: Everything about the world a teenager lives in is aimed at preparing them for the future. They are constantly bombarded by messages saying that life is “up ahead,” just out of reach, somewhere in the future. But that is not our call as Christ-followers. God is at work today and is calling you to live a life on mission with Him…right here… right now. This isn’t rehearsal. This is it.

To reserve your spot, completely fill out the registration form & medical release form and return it to Jeff Partain. The full cost of registration is due no later than February 1st.
