Fall Retreat is one of my most favorite times of the year! Sure, I like the fall weather, the changing colors of the leaves, and being in the woods next to the lake. But there is something about getting away with y'all that touches my heart. It's an amazing time to get away as a community of believers to listen to God, to be encouraged by one another, and to grow in Christ-likeness.

This year promises to be no different. We will spend time worshiping the Lord through song and studying the Word. We will enjoy one another as we scale the climbing wall, soar through the air on the giant swing, and kick whatever various ball is on the field.
Disclaimer: If you are scared of heights and the thought of running makes you tired, there are plenty of other ways for you to enjoy the weekend. :)

One of the things that makes me most excited about Fall Retreat this year is that we will be going with groups of students who are already meeting in our 2.42 groups studying God's Word together.
Disclaimer: If you aren't connected to a 2.42 group yet, don't worry there are plenty of students who still need to be connected. This will be a great time for you to get plugged in. But don't wait until Fall Retreat to get plugged in. Go to the link above to find out where your 2.42 group meets.

We have been praying for you and will continue to do so as we enter in to Fall Retreat!
