Aug 27-29: Come to the Well

Come to the Well: A Weekend for Restoration

Save the date for the last weekend of August! 

We have invited Chris Bruno and Tracy Johnson from Restoration Counseling to lead us in a weekend of restoration from August 27-29, 2021. 

This is a mini retreat — a chance to pause and breathe before the school year kicks off. 

Come drink deeply of the Living Water, enjoy the fellowship of believers in worship and prayer, and prepare your heart, mind, and soul for what’s ahead in the fall.

• For those who are weary after a year of pandemic living and many transitions within our church, it is our goal this weekend to create safe spaces to bring big questions before the Lord, to process any pain, losses, or woundedness, and find healing in Jesus.
• Why should you come? To meet with Jesus, the Rock of our salvation and the Living Water; to be restored and refreshed for what God is preparing for us in the year ahead!

Weekend Schedule

Friday night, August 27th 

• Evening: We will have a worship and prayer gathering from 7-9 PM led by Chris and Tracy that is open to all. We will reflect on the theme “Now Then: Grief, Gratitude, and the Not Yet.” It will involve some teaching, personal reflection, experience, and corporate worship.

Saturday, August 28th

• Morning: Chris and Tracy will meet with First Free leaders for a morning workshop from 9 AM to 12 PM. The theme is “Breathe” and a separate evite will be sent to leadership. 
• Afternoon: Chris and Tracy will have six soul care counseling sessions available to anyone who needs to process any deep pain or grief privately with licensed counselors – from pandemic losses, from church transitions, from personal family hardships – bring anything you need to process. Sign-ups coming soon!

On Sunday, August 29th

• Morning: Chris will preach to conclude our weekend of restoration.
