Wildmen Kansas Retreat   |   February 24th - 26th, 2012   |   $109.00
Timber Lakes Camp & Retreat Center   |   Williamsburg, KS

Retreat includes three days lodging AND food for $109. This weekend will give you a unique opportunity to change the course of the rest of your life. The retreat is designed for 18yrs & up and is not recommended as a 'father-son' retreat. The core focus of the weekend is a man's personal journey to authentic manhood through an environment offering phenomenal teaching and alone time with the Father. It can have tremendous impact on the relationship with your son(s) [and daughters], but its not constructed to address that during the camp. Every man needs to find the healing first, then everyone else will reap the benefits. The weekend begins with check-in at 4:30pm Friday and ends at 4:00pm Sunday. All meals included, beginning with dinner Friday through lunch Sunday. Registration Deadline is February 5th. Mail registration fee to Wildmen KS, PO Box 1081, Topeka, KS 66601.

Avail is a gathering for all women in our church to connect, to worship together, to be encouraged, and to be challenged to engage in discipleship with the people God has placed in our paths. God calls us to be usable; to Avail ourselves. Each believer is uniquely created and molded to engage in discipleship. It may not always look like what we have pictured in our own minds but He is the potter, we are the clay, and we need to yield to Him and be available for Him to use us. During our time of worship, we will hear testimonies from some of our women about how discipleship has taken shape in their lives. We will also have time to connect with each other and talk through finding our niche in discipleship. This evening will also have a few special treats you don't want to miss! Childcare is not available.

Invite friends and family to see you proclaim your faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ through baptism. If you would like to be baptized, we ask that you sign up below. The baptisms will take place after each weekend service.
