The CrossTrainers annual retreat this year was amazing!   Thank you to the incredible volunteers, staff, kids, mentors and donors who made it SO great!!

This year’s retreat was at Camp Glisson.  Our speaker did an awesome job teaching us about RUBBISH (Phil. 3:8).  Alex Smith of Sparrow’s Nest led our worship.  CrossTrainers were treated to performances by the local Hip-Hop group G.T.S. (God’s Three Soldiers) and a UGA Wesley dance team.  Other activities included a scavenger hunt, crafts, recreation, a waterfall hike, small group discussion and a campfire with s’mores!  We had a blast!  Check back soon for pictures (or visit our Facebook page)!

Testimonial

 “We had a really cool thing happen Monday.  A teacher from [the] middle school called to thank us for all that we do with these kids. She has three crosstrainers in her class and they were talking non-stop about the retreat Monday morning.  Not only were they talking about the ropes course, canoing and games but they also told her about the worship services and the different speakers.  She wanted all of us to know that we are doing exactly what the church is called to do as we reach out to these kids.”

–Tara Dunn, Sarah Olds & Lindsay Allgood (previous leaders)
