The South Georgia Conference’s annual weekend retreat for youth, Encounter, will be November 17-19, 2023, at Epworth By The Sea. Through high-quality preaching and worship, youth have the opportunity to encounter God in a new setting, deepen their faith, and learn what it means to put their faith into action at school, with their friends, and in their community.
The theme this year is “Stories.” Students will be invited into a better understanding of how God’s story becomes our story, and what that means in their daily lives.
Albert Williams, campus pastor at Georgia Southern’s Wesley Foundation, will be speaking throughout the weekend, and music will be led by Georgia College & State University’s Wesley Foundation worship band.
Encounter is a great opportunity for churches of all sizes to have a big experience together.
Churches will register as a group and payment is due within seven days. Registration is $165 per person and includes programming, insurance, food, lodging, and a t-shirt. The deadline to register, edit, or cancel a registration is November 8.
