FPC High School Retreat 2025 – Lake Cherokee, SC

Last weekend, our high schoolers spent a weekend resting and fellowshipping with one another in the mountains. We went snow tubing, visited the historic Stumphouse Tunnel, ate lots of yummy snacks, played games, and spent intentional time talking about what it practically means to rest & connect with God. Thank you to Elaine & Tim Johnson for hosting us at their lake house, and to Whitney & Elaine for chaperoning. I am feeling thankful for the gift of togetherness and learning to lay our stressors, anxieties, & burdens before a God that so deeply cares for us! Thanks be to God!
