BLAST RETREAT: NOV. 9-10
       Our annual fall student retreat (this year at Look-Up Lodge) is next weekend. This is a time when our students get away for a couple of days to grow their friendships and gets focused for the year's ministry.
We have nearly fifty people from our church attending this year's BLAST Retreat. We'll be joining two other churches - FBC Lincolnton and Enon Baptist from Salisbury. The registration deadline was Oct. 21; however, students may still register to be placed on the Alternates List incase someone is unable to go.
        Buses will pull out of the church parking lot next Saturday morning (Nov.9) at 7:00 am and return Sunday (Nov.10) around 10:00 pm. Retreat information packets went out this week. You can find more copies available this Sunday at the Discipleship Center's welcome desk.
        We covet your prayers for the students and adults attending this retreat as God has great things in store.
