Fall Retreat Information
September 29-October 1
Our Fall Retreat is September 29-October 1 at Marshall Baptist Retreat Center on Lake Guntersville. Our theme will be “Girls, Guys, & God.” Throughout the weekend, we will talk about God’s pefect plan for romantic relationships, how to find a godly spouse, how to date well as a Christian, and how to avoid sexual sin as we live in our broken world. Pastor Rob Hatfield, myself, and our wives will lead this retreat which will include lots of breakout small groups divided by age and gender. This topic is super-important and relevant (as you well know!) and we are excited to spend the weekend seeking God’s will in this area.
Cost:
$60 for one child or $50/per person if you have multiple children going. This includes a shirt, 5 meals, 2 nights of lodging, and all the fun activities the retreat center has to offer.
Schedule:
You may either leave on the bus on Friday night at 5:30 PM (eat before you come) or Saturday morning at 7:45 AM. We will return at 12:00 PM on Sunday. Our time at the retreat center will involve 4 sessions of Bible study and worship, 3 breakout small groups, organized games, and free time in the afternoon and at night before bed.
