Fall Retreat is just around the corner! Twin Rocks is hosting us again this year, with retreat scheduled Nov. 11-13. That’s just three weeks away!
The theme this year is “Let Nothing.” It comes from Romans 8:38, where Paul says he is convinced that “nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.” Students will be led in sessions that identify, validate and facilitate surrendering the barriers that limit them from fully seeing and experiencing God’s love.
Kaitlyn Ragan and Anderson Campbell are session leaders. Our guest musician is Tyson Motsenbocker, who is featured on Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube and iTunes. Swing by the sign-up table in the Bauman lobby before or after chapel and Vespers, or in the Canyon Commons during mealtimes. Please make sure to have the $30 fee ready to be paid when signing up. We will take card, chip or cash.
Those who sign up before Nov. 4 will be entered into a drawing to receive five chapel credits. Five students will be chosen. This is a dynamic retreat where you will have plenty of opportunities to engage and relax over the weekend!
