This year’s theme is “Story” Each of us has a story that is meaningful and unique. All of our stories interact with each other’s and come together within God’s greater story. The 2012 Hope Spring Retreat will give us a chance to look more closely at God’s story and how our personal stories relate with that narrative. We want to hear your story, so tweet it using #mystoryhcc or email it (in 140 characters or less) to mystory@hopecc.com. Come to the 2012 Spring Retreat to hear the whole story. April 20th – April 22nd Registration starts at 7pm on Friday night and the first session starts at 8. We will wrap things up by 1:30 on Sunday which means you should be back in the Cities by 4pm.

You can donate on Hope’s website, www.hopecc.com, under the give button. Give under “Spring Retreat Fundraising.” Additionally you can support an individual by giving online under the “Spring Retreat Scholarship” heading on Hope’s giving page.
