ALL CHURCH RETREAT

This is YOUR day to make YOUR church the BEST it can be! And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,

for those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Join us on Sunday, August 18th directly after church

to know and grow our faith deeper and wider,

accomplishing much to serve God.

Before the retreat, please reflect on what you would like to do as and for the

church this year. Where would you like to grow deeper? How would you like

the church to grow wider? What events or projects would you enjoy participat-

ing in? Would you like to plan it or help make it happen? Do you see a need

that we might be able to meet? Would you like to coordinate a worship service

or share a minute for mission during worship? How can we best serve God to-

gether?

To comprehend what is

the breadth and length

and height and depth,

and to know the love of

Christ that surpasses

knowledge…to ac-

complish abundantly

far more than all we

can ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:18-20
