GORF
February 3th & 4th
We are excited to provide you this information about GORF, our annual spiritual emphasis weekend for sixth, seventh, and eighth graders!
Weekend highlights:
Breaking the Ice– This year’s theme is rooted in the idea that it is often hard to tell the world about its Savior. The proverbial “breaking the ice” is so hard because of the fears that we take into that encounter. The weekend will focus on building up the courage and confidence of a student’s witness for Christ in ways that with help produce a positive, God-ordered outcome, and not one that will turn away those we care about.

This allows us to plan appropriately for food and housing. Step 1 of the registration process is due by Monday, January 23 at 5:00 pm. Any group that does not complete Step 1 by the due date will be assessed a $100 service charge. Step 2 is to print and complete the detailed registration form that includes name, address, phone, and email for each attendee. This form is to be turned in with payment at the registration table upon your arrival. Payment can be made by check, cash, or credit card.
