Recreation College Retreat
2026-04-10 08:00 - 17:00 | CA
Recreation is a term we use to describe activities that refresh and rejuvenate us. Real recreation should re-create us by turning us away from the things that hold us in contempt of our original design and, instead, restore us to our true dignity. Our dignity reminds us that we are to live as protagonists in an amazing story where the Creator himself chases after us in love. This retreat will help you step back and recreate through community, friendship, rest, and prayer. Impactful talks will help you see how these things unveil your place in the Creator’s story. All you need to do is remain present and open. Will you let yourself be recreated? Register for Retreat: https://orangeyyahm.my.canva.site/rec-college-retreat
