ABOUT EVENT:

Registration Deadline: Friday, March 7, 2025

Are you located in the Northeast United States? We’d love to see you at the 2025 CLS Northeast Regional Retreat!

“Lives that count but don’t burn out”

Speaker: Charlie Drew

Focus of the weekend

We all want our lives to count, and we pursue that sense of value in numerous ways, some good and some not so good.  We also want to enjoy life—to find rest in the midst of our efforts to rise to life’s challenges.  God wants both of these good things for us even more than we do, and he shows us how this can happen.  Through a series of talks, small group discussions, and private reflections we will explore God’s wisdom on this double agenda by considering some of the things Jesus said and did in John 13-17.

Teaching Schedule

Talk and small group discussion # 1 (Friday night): Abiding in Christ: How to have lives that count but don’t burn out

Talk and small group discussion # 2 (Saturday AM): Abiding in Christ’s words

Talk and small group discussion # 3 (Saturday PM):  Abiding in Christ’s love

Talk and small group discussion # 4 (Sunday AM):  Abiding in prayer and mission
