Impact and Spring Retreat

Online registration is now up for the Spring Retreat and for Impact.

The Spring Retreat is our ministry's annual retreat to Palmetto Bible Camp for a weekend. It is a fairly relaxed weekend where we try to encourage our students to deepen their spiritual relationships and responsibilities to one another and challenge them to think and grow in their faith. We will leave on Friday, May 13th after school and arrive back in Summerville on Sunday, the 15th in the afternoon. The cost for the weekend is $45 and the registration deadline is May 1st.

Impact is the Bible camp hosted at Lipscomb University. There are two weeks of Impact, one for Junior High students and one for Senior High. Jr. Impact is June 17-20th and the cost is $150. We will leave Summerville on Thursday morning and spend the afternoon playing on the lake at Kim's parents' house in Macon, GA. Then get up on Friday morning in time to be in Nashville for the start of Jr. Impact at noon. The students will return on Monday the 20th in the evening. As the Jr. High students are traveling from Nashville to Summerville, the Sr. High will be on the bus headed from Summerville to Nashville. The cost for Sr. Impact is $205 and they will return on Saturday night (the 25th). Impact is one of those events that almost has to be experienced to understand. It is a week full of high-energy entertainment, of deep Biblical study, and passionate worship. Most of all, it is a full week where students can devote almost all of their time to looking at who they are and who God desires them to be. Because Impact is such a powerful week, it always fills up quickly. As such, even though the event is not until late June, the registration is due on April 27th. Don't miss out!
