This year’s theme is “Community” Community (n) – a group of people living together in one place. a group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists. Antonym: isolation. At Spring Retreat 2013 we will look at some of the following questions: What does it mean to do Gospel in community? How will the community change at Hope Community Church as it grows? What does being an active part of the community of the body of Christ look like in everyday life? How can the community of Hope Community Church impact the community of Minneapolis for the Kingdom of God? Join us at Spring Retreat 2013 to take part in one of Hope’s biggest opportunities to build community. What are the Dates of SR? April 19th – April 21st, 2013 What is the registration deadline for SR? April 7th, 2013 Registration starts at 7pm on Friday night and the first session starts at 8pm.

There will be no Sunday Morning Worship at the Hope Community Church building on April 21, 2013. However, we will have our 7pm service back at Hope that night. We go back to our regular Sunday worship schedule April 28th. This year we are trying to raise $8,500 to offset the cost of the retreat and to provide scholarships to make the retreat more affordable. You can donate on Hope’s website under the “Give to Hope Community Church” link. Additionally you can give when you register for spring retreat or by being part of one of our spring retreat fundraising efforts. Check the City for more details. We ask that everyone coming bring a snack to share. What time does the retreat start and end?
