2009 Previous Events
fall retreat 2009 | 2 Corinthians 3:18
This year’s fall retreat was a great time to get away from the ordinary and spend a weekend with friends. We had a wonderful time at the beautiful Dotson Lodge in Centerville, TN. From spinning around in circles with a pen on your nose to sharing a story about your favorite item, it was a great retreat! We want to thank all those that kept this event in your prayers. God is doing amazing things in the hearts of these teens!
“’And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord” 2 Corinthians 3:18
Nashville Workcamp

This was the 13th year for Nashville Workcamp and were blessed to have another great year to serve the local Nashville community. This event is open to all current 7th-12th graders and friends.
Workcamp Details
- Date: May 31-June 5

This event is great at building teamwork and serving others right here in Nashville. You will be able to paint, clean, and do minor repairs on a house for someone in need. Each day will be full of hard work and each night we’ll be refreshed with dinner & worship at West End. If you have any questions, please contact Joseph Mankin for more details.
Winterfest 2009
We had a wonderful time together in beautiful Gatlinburg, TN where we learned the true meaning of L1 & L2. God calls us to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We were glad to be able to learn to love beyond our boundaries and have the opportunity to worship with 12,000 other teenagers and adults.
2008 Summer Re-Cap
Nashville Work Camp – Sharing our service with others in Nashville can really help us see God working through this effort. We had a record number of people involved this year and a great experience together.
Camp 2008 – This year’s theme was Beacon as we took a look at letting God’s light shine through our lives. Make sure to grab a DVD ($5) and see all our activities and how much we were able to grow together. If you did not get a shirt, picture or DVD, please see Joseph and he will get one to you before we leave for camp next year!
Ocoee Trip – When you finally get all the tents set up at midnight and get 5 wonderful hours of sleep before going down the rapids, there really isn’t much more to say, except that it was AWESOME!
Honduras Mission – Life changing and unforgettable. Make sure to grab someone who went on this mission and ask them for yourself how wonderful it was.
Night 2 Forget – Dressed to impress and ready to eat. Everyone is always curious why we are so dressed up in the middle of the summer and we always have an answer too. We had a great time bowling together and some great picture from the photo booth!
Atlanta Trip – How can you forget, the Atlanta Braves winning over the Cardinals, the all you can eat seats, the amount of fun we had hanging out in the gym, and of course Clay getting his head caught in the seat belt!
Girls Escape – A wonderful night for our ladies to grow together and has some fun painting nails and making pillow cases. Big thanks to the Davidson’s for opening up there house to all the girls!
KY Kingdom – A bus full of gas station snack foods and cheap amusement park souvenirs pretty much sums up this hot trip to Six Flags. We had a great time though!
