Fall Retreat!

Well, it's that time of year again! Can you even believe it? Fall Retreat is upon us!

I wanted to take a minute and tell you all about how amazing our retreat is going to be this year.

We will be headed to Lake Williamson in Carlinville Friday Nov. 7 - Sunday Nov. 9.

For those of you who remember our retreat last year, this post will hopefully remind you of the great time we had. Or, if you didn't go, maybe it'll convince you to go.

On retreat, we do tons of fun stuff. Like what, you might ask? Well, here's a run down:
  • Hayride
  • Bonfire (with s'mores, of course!)
  • Open Gym time
  • Lots of laughter
  • An AWESOME t-shirt
  • Time with friends
  • Enjoying Cool Weather
  • Football (and this year, perhaps, a rousing game of toilet paper football!)
  • And most importantly - Time with God!

And let me just say one quick thing about the last item listed. Fall Retreat is a time for us to connect with God. Time to step outside our normal day to day lives and really get a glimpse of God and what God has planned for us. It's a time of great worship and learning about the Bible. You definitely don't want to miss it!

So, I hope you will join us on the trip this year. It's going to be great, I promise!
