Growth Opportunities are all around . . .

Fear is a place of growth,

a place where God

“wants to do something with you.”

May all you wanderings this weekend,

with kind friends,

grow you deeper into Christ.

just another day? . . . I hope not!

Many times when you ask the question “how are you today?” a response that I often hear is “it’s just another day! it's no different than yesterday or the day before”.

And really, there may not be anything super significant about this day apart from:

it's another day that i'm alive!

it's another day that i get to enjoy my husband. my son. and my daughter.

it's another day that i can experience God's love, grace, and mercy.


so while it is, in fact, just another day, today i rejoice—for God has granted me yet one more day.

life is fleeting. it is a vapor, a breath, a blink of an eye. so not just today, but every day take a moment to enjoy the gift of another day! That is what I want to celebrate not just today, but every day!

just another day? . . . to celebrate!

Feed Your Roots is a reminder to cultivate your relationship with God as well as with others. Take time for personal discipleship so that your roots remain healthy.

If you are between the ages of 19-30 you are invited to attend a weekend retreat for young adults @ Camp Boothe. This event "Feed Your Roots" will be centered around relationships and personal discipleship.

DATES: January 15th - January 18th

This will be held on MLK Jr. Birthday Weekend (no work, no school on Monday the 18th). Registration will begin at 4:00 p.m. on Friday the 15th.

COST $60 [includes lodging, meals & special events)

SPECIAL GUESTS

Dr. H.E. Cardin

David James Ministry Team

The focus of this retreat will be on spiritual aspects; however, we trust that it will also reveal to each of us the enjoyment of deepening our relationship with the Father as well as each other. There will be a time of worship & ministry, as well as a time to hang out in the coffee bar, paint or play football.

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

John 15:5
