WHAT DO I NEED TO WEAR?
This is not an event where you sit and listen the entire time – you will be moving, stretching, standing, sitting and engaging. Dress casual and comfortable. Bring warm clothes because the room is kept cool. We highly recommend layering your clothing in case you become too warm/cold during the activities. Comfortable shoes are absolutely necessary.

The Word for This Encounter: Renew
This Encounter is centered around the word Renew. In Scripture, renewal is not just about rest — it is about being restored, revived, strengthened, and transformed by the presence of God.
In the Old Testament, the Hebrew idea of renewal carries the meaning of being restored with fresh strength, like an eagle receiving new wings again.
“But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength…” — Isaiah 40:31
In the New Testament, the Greek word for renew means “to be made new again” — a renovation of the mind, heart, and spirit through the Holy Spirit.
This Encounter is designed to be a place of renewal:
renewal in your relationship with God,
renewal of vision and purpose,
renewal of strength,
and renewal of the call God has placed on your life.
We believe God wants to refresh what has become weary, awaken what has become dormant, and restore people back to His presence and mission.
