Euro-American Family Retreat

Hi everyone! I hope you’re making plans to join us in beautiful Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany November 17-21!

The theme this year is “Don’t Be Anxious,” with keynote speaker Chris Benjamin, preaching minister at the WestArk Church of Christ in Ft. Smith, AR. We’ll have a breakout session focusing on relationships, led by Sherry Pogue. Sherry is a licensed professional counselor associate at Pogue Counseling in Little Rock, AR. We’ll also have a breakout session for military families, led by Dennis Saucier. Add to that lots of meaningful fellowship, powerful worship, great food, and Phil Jackson…and you’ve got yourself quite a retreat! Well, Rebecca Jackson…maybe not Phil.

The 2018 Euro-Family Retreat is set for November 17-21.  Mark your calendars!  Details coming soon!

We hope you have already reserved November 18-22 so you and your family can be there!

Our theme this year is “When the Spirit Leads.” Our keynote speaker is Evertt Huffard, professor of leadership and missions at Harding School of Theology. Evertt will define what maturing in Christ looks like. He’ll take us on a spiritual journey…moving from passive to active disciples, from active disciples to leaders, and from leaders to mentors. Evertt’s wife, Ileene, will lead a breakout session for women on leadership and how to cope with feelings of loneliness in their important work.

Dale & Vicki Hawley, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, will be with us again, as well. We loved having them share with us a couple years ago! They will lead sessions on building strong relationships.

Of course, there will be the city concert at Franziskanerkirche on Sunday afternoon. Under Katie Young’s leadership, this has become such a special way for us to be more involved in the community while we stay in this amazing city. There’s always warm fellowship, powerful worship, classes & activities for the kids, Wayne’s annual tour of the city, amazing food, and spirit-filled lessons to lift us up as well!
