College Retreat

WooHoo! There's nothing quite like powerfully experiencing the presence of God in an incredibly beautiful setting. The foliage was possibly the most beautiful and bright I have ever seen and the camp was set on a lake with a large foothill serving as the backdrop.

The Gulley family (Jonathan and Amy) came from the Antioch church plant in Wheaton, IL, to speak at our retreat which was October 19-21. They brought a clear message of friendship and intimacy with God resulting in walking in the Spirit or continually experiencing God's presence. The first night, as we arrived, the weather was very stormy with rain and high winds. The next day the clouds started to break with a mixture of clouds and sunshine. Finally on Sunday when we got up to head back to church there was a full measure of bright sunshine. We felt like the weather was parallelling what God was doing in our spirits. The Lord was moving us forward in Him as we responded to His initiation of going deeper in our faith and intimacy with Jesus.

Not only were our worship and teaching times great, but we had a lot of fun together building friendships and making new ones. It was an exciting weekend...a fun weekend...and we continue to anticipate where God is going to take us coming out of our time together.
