LIFT Retreat 2024
Dearly Loved
Finding and Anchoring Our Identity In Christ
September 20 to 22, 2024
Dearly Loved
Finding & Anchoring our Identity in Christ
In 1 John 3:1, John shares these words: See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God! And that is what we are!
Oh how we are so Dearly Loved! Yet, in this busy and chaotic world we often struggle in knowing where our true identity lies. We sometimes forget that we are much more than just his children. We are chosen, loved and beautiful daughters of the King.
At this years LIFT Retreat we will explore how we can find the assurance that our identity is grounded in Him, through teaching, panel discussions and coming together around God’s word. The beauty of Bayside Camp provides a relaxing environment in which you can spend time in peaceful personal reflection or be energized through activities and connection with others.
Registration is Open!
