Did you know that Encounter is hosting a conference this weekend? The theme verse is Hebrews 12:1-3 and the conference is called "Abide." It starts on Friday morning and goes until Saturday evening. You can come for part or all of it! We had a deadline for sign ups, so that we could order enough food, but we have had a couple of people drop out. So if you happen to be free or want to invite a friend, there are a couple of spots still open! You can call our office for more information (712-722-4900) or you can sign up here and watch your email for more information.
