Weekly Devotion

“As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying, ‘Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!’”

Luke 19: 36-38

Unplug, Rest and Charge Up
Saturday, May 18 at 8:30am - Sunday, May 19 at 1:00pm
 
Join us for an overnight trip to Montreat, NC where we will unplug from the stresses of text messaging and social media for the duration of our time together. We will spend time with God in a variety of ways and places, such as at the top of the mountain and simply being present with one another. We will depart at 10am on Sunday morning, and join in the food truck festivities at 12pm.
We can’t wait to see your middle schooler there!

Total cost is $35 per person 
Cost includes transportation, meals at Montreat, lodging and activities. Youth will need money for lunch at the food trucks when we arrive back in Charlotte.
