Now April 24-25, Rescheduled from November 2019
As God’s children in Jesus Christ we are called to proclaim the Gospel in both word and deed. Today’s culture is not unlike that in which the early Christian Church began to grow. Basic biblical knowledge can no longer be assumed. In some places the proclamation of the Gospel will be met with hostility and anger. During the IDE Sr. High Retreat, we will consider how the early Church proclaimed the Gospel in a secular and hostile culture, and how we might utilize their approach today. We will study illustrative biblical texts and the methods utilized by early Christians to help others discover their soul’s longing for themselves and then guide them to finding fulfillment in Christ.
The retreat will take place beginning on Friday, April 24th at 7:00 pm and end by 3:00 pm on Saturday. This retreat includes dinner on Friday and breakfast and lunch on Saturday.
