CentriKid & Fuge Summer Camps
Every moment spent at CentriKid and Fuge is intentional. Camp programming is designed to take kids & students out of their normal routines and place them into an environment that is focused on life-change through a relationship with Christ. A week at camp is exciting, fun, loud, and sometimes even messy!
CentriKid is for 2nd-6th graders from July 14-18 at Skycroft Retreat Center in Middletown, MD. This year’s theme is “Higher.” Kids will discover what it means to live out our calling through the adventure of following Christ A $75 deposit is due by Feb. 12. Please see or email Melissa (melissa@weemscreek.com) if you are interested in sending your child.
Fuge is for 6th-12th graders from July 14-19 at N. Greenville University in Greenville, SC. This year’s theme is “Into the Light: Owning Your Faith.” Ownership is a powerful thing. Students will realize the need to step from a borrowed faith into a full, vibrant faith that is your own. A $75 deposit is due by Feb. 8. Please see Pastor Alex (alex@weemscreek.com) if interested.
Women’s Retreat
Have you ever thought, "How do I spend time on my prayers when I am distracted with so much to do", or "How do I pray for longer than a couple minutes?", or "Why should I ask God for anything again when I have done it before, and it hasn't worked?" Many of us have thought the same things before. To get practical answers to these questions, join us for our Annual Women's Retreat, March 14-15, at Camp Wabanna. This year, our focus will be on "A Praying Life". Our speaker, Julie Courtney from SeeJesus Ministries, will help us look at Jesus' powerful yet simple teachings on prayer. We will practice our praying, patterned after Jesus' style of prayer. We will learn to ask our Father for anything, and then to wait with our eyes wide open to the story He is creating in our lives. Retreat registration is $60 and is open to all women, 9th grade and up. Register now in the church app, at the Connect Center, or by using this link: Women's Retreat
Men’s Retreat
The Men’s Retreat will be March 28-29 at Camp Wabanna in Edgewater, MD. More details to follow.
