Looking forward to a spiritual and physical recharge this year during our Youth Bible Retreat. This years Bible retreat will be in Blue Ridge Georgia, which is very close to Chattanooga Tennessee. We will be staying in a cabin on the Toccoa River. Our Biblical focus this year is ‘dealing with peer pressure Biblically’.... which basically involves having the right view of God and a better understanding of our identity in Christ. We will be answering questions like...
(Do I fear men more than God? What are the dangers of peer pressure? What happens when I realize my identity is not wrapped up in others acceptance of me, but in Christ’s acceptance of me?)
...along with many more challenging Bible studies, messages and devotions.
What activities will youth be involved in? This year we are planning on a White-water rafting trip. Undoubtedly this produces fear in parents and excitement among youth. If you have any questions just ask..... I will be handing out a consent form a little closer to the trip. The cost for white-water rafting will be 41.00. We will also be tubing on the Toccoa River daily. NO ONE will be permitted to raft without a signed parent consent and a LIFE Preserver. This is a FREE activity. I will be buying 4 rafting tubes for people to use. If anyone would like to order their own just let me know. You can pick one up now at WalMart for 16.00. They are called River Run 1.
There is a hot tub and a pool table at the cabin.
Meals will be provided with the exception of times we will be required to eat out. We will eat 3 meals out as we travel. Youth will need enough money for three meals. The rest of the trip is free !!!!
