"Come Near"
Hebrews 12: 18-24
"You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them ... but you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven."
Aaron Williams & Team
Breakouts/workshops run concurrently; some are repeated in the afternoon.
Following workshops, return to the main worship center for the final worship set with Aaron & team to seal what God has done during your breakout session, or choose the quieter more contemplative Abide Room if you prefer.
Potato Bar & Caesar Salad
In addition to breaking bread together, this is a great time to spend time in the Abide Room, to have conversation with friends, and relax between sessions.

"Crumbs"
Mark 7:24-30
"Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
There's something the Syrophoenecian woman understood about Jesus that many of us struggle with. Even Jesus' disciples didn't immediately understand it. His provision is super abundant. The Bread of Life has enough bread for all of us!
Worship Pastors & Leaders from area churches come together to lead us in worship.
Open time for the Abide Room, conversation, reflection, prayer, rest.

"What Kind of Race Are You Running?"
Based on Hebrews 12:1-13
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
Breakouts/workshops run concurrently; some are repeated from the morning session.
Chicken Parmesan, Baby Red Potatoes, and Garden Salad

"Battle-Ready Discipleship"
"What if the battles you face aren’t signs of weakness, but invitations to grow? We’ll explore how the enemy uses lies to pull believers off course from Jesus and how God forms steadfast disciples through His truth and His love. It’s a hope-filled reminder that every battle becomes a place where God strengthens and shapes those who choose to follow Him, be transformed by Him, and join in His mission. "
