SURRENDER
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.”
- 1 Peter 5:7
What are you carrying?
College can be exciting, but it can also leave us feeling overwhelmed. We carry questions about our future, relationships, school, faith, friendships, and who we are becoming. Sometimes, following Jesus means learning to let go.
This year's Newman Student Retreat is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of college life and make space for God. Together, we'll explore what it means to surrender our lives to the Lord—not because we have everything figured out, but because we can trust that He cares for us.
Throughout the weekend, we'll have opportunities for talks, prayer, small groups, reflection, community, and fun.
Come as you are!
Come take a weekend away from the noise, spend time with friends, encounter Jesus, and discover
what it looks like to place your life into the hands of a God who cares for you.
Registration Deadline:
Sunday, October 13th
