On August 4th, Trinity Pines Retreat Center was occupied by over 200 Linder Road congregation members who spent the weekend together, renewing their courage on God and deepening their relationships with one another.
Due to the accidents on 55, members were late arriving on Friday, also, due to the rain, Sunday morning worship was moved to inside the tight conference room. However, we had wonderful time spending time together, playing game, sharing their talents and encouraging each other for stronger faith.
August 4-6
Theme: “Rooted in Courage”
Purpose: To rest in God and reflect on our relationship we have with Him and one another. Focusing on relationships rooted in fellowship, edification, encouragement, and fun in a relaxed setting.

So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith – that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Eph. 3:17-19 ESV)
