Event Details
Date: April 27 - 29, 2023
Start time: 03:00 p.m.
Venue: Camp Baldwin Elberta, AL
When something is out of balance it is unstable and tottering on the brink of failing or being damaged. At times our personal lives and families are in that state of potential harm. One symptom of being out of balance is anxiety which was the one word that kept coming up in the Q&A sessions and critiques last year.
Our theme this year is BALANCE, and we will focus on stabilizing families on Biblical principles. The theme verse, Matt 6:33, gives the solution for Balance and the following verse, Matt 6:34, gives the solution for anxiety.
Our spring retreat is being held in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The goal here is to provide plenty of opportunities for rest, relaxation, and fun times with your spouse that can only be found in a resort area like the Gulf Coast. We have spread out the retreat over 3 days to give you and your spouse more relaxation time. The 2023 Spring Retreat dates are Thursday night April 27 through noon Saturday April 29.
THURSDAY EVENING kicks off your get-away with dinner at the Lake Pavilion and a time to experience food, friends, and fellowship. The first general session will be Thursday night, and don’t forget afterwards the refreshments, free time, and fellowship.
FRIDAY’s schedule allows you to customize the conference to meet your specific needs in the areas of marriage, parenting, personal growth, health, family relationships, and finance with concurrent morning sessions followed by Connect Time to allow you to discuss what you have just learned in the sessions. Table Talk allows you to meet with the presenter of your choice and discuss the topic of your choice. Friday afternoon is set aside as free-time to Gulf Coast attractions including sun, sand, seafood, and shopping.
FRIDAY EVENING includes a time of worship and a Q&A session with the presenters to address your specific topics and concerns followed by a challenge. Afterwards enjoy refreshments, camp fire, free time, and fellowship.
SATURDAY’s schedule again allows you to choose between concurrent sessions pertaining to the family to tailor the morning to your specific interests followed by Connect Time and Table Talk. The general session wraps up the retreat with a summary and challenge.
Come renew your relationship with the Lord, your mate, your future mate, or friends while learning practical application of Biblical principles to every-day family life.
