TeenRetreat '08
Being a Person of IMPACT
September 19-21
Do you want to make a difference in this world?
This world is in desperate need for God’s people to make a difference.
Paul tells Timothy in 1 Tim 4:12 “Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.”
If you will be Godly in your speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity you will make a huge “IMPACT” on this world, not only on this world, but in eternity.
Our five lessons will cover each of these subjects.
Pray for the retreat, and for the “IMPACT” that you can have on the world
when you leave on Sunday.

Our Speaker will be Robbie Mackenzie. He is married to the former Heather Gillmore (who grew up coming to WKYC). Robbie has the privilege of being a youth minister for the Main Street church of Christ in Springfield, TN where he has worked for 4 years. Robbie has a B.A. in Bible and a Masters in Bible from Freed-Hardeman, and is currently working on his M. Div. at Lipscomb University.

What’s gonna happen?
Here is the plan. We will begin registration at 7:00 PM Friday, September 19.
Be sure to eat before you come.
We will have an evening of fellowship and a devotional at 11:00.
We will have breakfast at 9 AM Saturday.
The afternoon will be spent in various activities.
There will be three lessons on Saturday and a split session for the men and women Saturday evening
led by Bill and Shay Wade and a devo to close out the day with Robbie.
Sunday morning will begin with a 9 AM breakfast
followed by a 10:00 worship service.

There will be no lunch on Sunday.

This is open to everyone Teen-Week 2008! You are invited to bring a friend; just make sure they send in an application.

We understand that there are many ballgames and other activities going on at retreat time. If you can’t come until late Friday night or early Saturday morning, let us know so we can wait up for you.

If you have to leave early, we will have to hear (i.e. phone call or in person)it from your folks.

There will not be any visitors allowed until worship services on Sunday morning.

Parents are invited to come and worship with us!

This retreat will be a time of spiritual development that will help each of us to grow closer to God and one another through our singing, praying, Bible study, and fellowship. It is the prayer of the Teen Retreat Staff that you come and that we all grow spiritually together.

Applications received on or before September 1st

No food in the cabins.
No radios or other electronic equipment.
Be sure to bring a sleeping bag and some warm clothes.
The nights can be kind of chilly.

The cost is $35 per person.
We will not have canteen. Bobby Davis is in charge of our meals and will do her job as awesome as usual to keep us fed. The fee is used to pay for food, paper goods, t-shirts, and the nightly camp rental fee. The rest is donated to the camp to help fund specific projects. A few years ago we donated enough to almost cover the entire expense of the amphi-theater. In the past we have donated over $9000 to camp. We also use some of the money to send flowers to funerals or make other donations for those of our camp family. We are planning on this being a truly awesome weekend for all who attend, and it just won’t be the same without you.
