Hey gang-
Here's some info about this years winter retreat and why you
should come.
The Retreat is "the place" to get
connected with other students at Watkinsville.
We realize that it can be difficult in the course of a normal Sunday to
get to know a lot of people and genuinely feel connected to and be in
community. We design The Retreat with
that in mind and build in a lot of time for you to meet new people and hang out
with our leaders in a setting where you're not rushed to move from one thing to
the next.
The Retreat is on a holiday weekend. We always do the retreat on MLK weekend which
this year is January 16-17. We go from
Friday night through Sunday around lunch so you get back in time to do any
studying you need to do.
The Retreat is close. We will be staying at High Harbor Camp on
beautiful Lake Burton. We will have the
entire camp to ourselves. Click here to
check it out.
The Retreat is inexpensive. For just $125.00 you get to hang out with
some of the coolest kids on the planet.
The $125 also gets all the meals plus you all the junk food you can eat
(and healthy food if you're into that). There
will be literally gallons of Jittery Joes coffee. And of course included in the cost is the
fabulous t-shirt designed by our very own artist in residence Chelsea Jay
(she's the coolest).
The Retreat will have great bible centered teaching
from Mark McAndrew and Graham Sibley.
This year our theme will be "Jesus in the Old Testament". In addition to the usual amazing bible
teaching. Will Parker (worship ministry
intern and all around great guy) will be leading worship for us during the
weekend.
Seriously, if you only do one thing with Watty College this year
we think it should be The Retreat. If you really want to go but
just don't think you can come up with $125 or you can only cover part of the
cost let Vic know and we can find you a scholarship. If you have any other
questions please contact Vic.
