YF "HERE I AM" Getaway Retreat 2012 this Weekend!
Happy March Break everyone!
We are absolutely stoked for the Getaway "Here I Am" this weekend (16th-18th) at Camp Galilee! Students have been working diligently in their committees to plan the worship, administration, promo, small groups and games! Our theme will be "Here I Am" and we'll be focusing on the urgency of the gospel, being bold and 'all in' for Christ. I've had coffee and been trading messages with Pastor Rob and he's super excited for what God will do at this retreat! I pray that the experiences in working together for this retreat has been fruitful in your life. Please keep in prayer for all aspects of this retreat and that the Holy Spirit would reign in our midst this weekend!The Details:
