FALL RETREAT: REAL!!


Time again for our annual, amazing All Ages Fall Retreat!  This is always a great time to break in the fall, fuel us up for the school year, and spend some beautiful time together in God's creation in the beauty of the fall, worshiping, growing, and spending time together.  It's one of my favorite things we do!

[UPDATE: We've already got right at 60 PEOPLE signed up, and I can add people as late as Tuesday, so let me know ASAP, adults or teens, if you would like to join us!!]

Here are the basics!

WHO?  ALL RAVE TEENS, families, and friends!
WHAT?  A retreat to the beauty of Siloam in the fall for a weekend of worship, growing, learning, and fellowship!
WHEN?  Sept. 13-15  We'll have a TOTALLY OPTIONAL dinner time at Wendy's across from the church at 5:00, and then we'll depart from Robinson Avenue at 6:00.  We'll return Sunday at about 11:00 AM.
WHERE?  New Life Ranch, one of the very best around, in Colcord, OK.  Here's a map!
HOW MUCH?  The cost is $65 (half for adults and their kids) which includes EVERYTHING (shirt, lodging, all food, all activities, etc.  YOU CAN ALSO BRING A LITTLE MONEY FOR THE CANTEEN AND GIFT SHOP, but this is totally up to you.

Our theme is REAL and we'll be diving into the REAL Jesus, as opposed to the image we've given Him over the years, what it means to be REAL ourselves, as opposed to putting on masks and putting up fronts, and closing out by talking about how to see the people around us as they actually are and seeing through their fronts, as opposed to believing that what we see on the outside is how they actually are.  It's gonna be some deep waters, and I can't wait to dive in!!
