Major's Moment
What were you doing at this time last year? We were at home trying to record sermons, piece together recorded worship, and praying that the Zoom and Facebook Live links would work "this time". As we look back at this past week, we praise the Lord, for the gift of being with each other again. We thank Him for His faithfulness through the "tough" times and "good" times as we might label them. More importantly we thank God for being our Father, and giving us the gift of his Son to save us and give us hope through every moment. God is good! All the time!

Young Adult Retreat
This year’s theme is “Surrounded!”(Hebrews 12:1). The theme “Surrounded” has a dual meaning. The first meaning is that we live in a world surrounded by sin and other negative forces. Secondly, we are also surrounded by the presence of God and His heavenly armies, so we do not need to fear!
We have special guests who are joining our young adult retreat 2022.
- Guest Speakers – Captains Emmanuel & Jennifer Masango: they are our new territorial youth & candidate secretaries.
- Worship Leader – David & Jenna Grace May: Jenna and her husband, David, travel together leading worship and sharing the love of Jesus all across the county. (More information about them: https://www.jennagracemay.com/)
Ages: 18-35
Cost: $180
