Men's Retreat
Leadership is absolutely essential to life and to advance the kingdom of God. Simply put, God has designed our world in such a way that leadership plays a huge role! Also, leadership is something that each person will have an opportunity to display so we should seek to cultivate our own passion and skills for leadership. At our men's retreat, Mark Dooley will be speaking about leadership. Mark served as a pastor for many years and now serves as the Associate Executive Director for the Baptist Convention of Maryland and Delaware. The Men’s Retreat will be March 28-29 at Camp Wabanna in Edgewater, MD. Retreat registration is $60 and is open to all men, 9th grade and up. Signups will begin in a couple weeks.
Women’s Retreat
Have you ever thought, "How do I spend time on my prayers when I am distracted with so much to do", or "How do I pray for longer than a couple minutes?", or "Why should I ask God for anything again when I have done it before, and it hasn't worked?" Many of us have thought the same things before. To get practical answers to these questions, join us for our Annual Women's Retreat, March 14-15, at Camp Wabanna. This year, our focus will be on "A Praying Life". Our speaker, Julie Courtney from SeeJesus Ministries, will help us look at Jesus' powerful yet simple teachings on prayer. We will practice our praying, patterned after Jesus' style of prayer. We will learn to ask our Father for anything, and then to wait with our eyes wide open to the story He is creating in our lives. Retreat registration is $60 and is open to all women, 9th grade and up. Register now!
