YOUTH RETREAT - Running On Empty

Our summer Youth Retreat is just around the corner! We're changing the date and the place, so get ready for a new adventure!

Here's what you need to know:

WHEN: June 24-27

WHERE: Camp Orchard Hill, Dallas, PA - www.camporchardhill.com

WHO: Students going into 6th grade through graduating 12th grade

HOW MUCH: $170 - Due ASAP, June 15th at the latest

WHAT IS IT?: The retreat is a great time to disconnect with your everyday life and connect with God and others. From zip lines to quiet times, rock walls to worship, boating and fishing to learning and growing, this retreat can change your life!

HOW DO I REGISTER?: Download the Retreat Brochure on the right side of this page, print it out and get it in to the church office.

Here's the write-up from the Retreat Brochure:

Our lives are busy. We’ve got school, sports, band, homework, work, friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, family time, texting, watching TV, and a ton of other stuff going on. Sometimes being busy isn’t a good thing, though. Our lives are so full of stuff, but our spiritual tanks are often running on empty. How do we hear God’s voice when our lives are so loud? How do we know what God wants when we’re so busy with life? Is it possible to stop everything for a minute and tune in to Him?

If this describes your life, this retreat could change everything. We’ll help you learn how to fill up your spiritual tank so that you can hear, love, and serve God better.

"Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything." (Psalm 46:10 - The Message)

NEW FUSION SERIES!

If you've never been out to FUSION, now is a great time for you to check it out! We're switching gears and starting a new series called One Month to Live... it's about living your life to the fullest, thinking about what matters most, and how, with God's help, you can have the best life EVER. We always have a ton of food, competitive games, and a good time. Check us out - Sundays from 6:30-8:30!

CORN BLITZ!

Got Corn?

We're having an all out blitz to collect corn for the Angel Network at EHS! This weekend ONLY, from Friday to Sunday, we're going all out to collect 150 cans of corn! Want to be part of a corn-crazed weekend? Then bring as many cans of corn as you can to Cafe, Sunday School, or FUSION! Corn's cheap, it's tasty, and it will really help out families in need this spring.

We'll be giving away prizes all weekend... and they won't be corny! Ok, that wasn't cool. We're giving away prizes just for bringing corn!

Let's reach our goal this weekend!
