We are really excited to bring to you another exciting weekend of worship, teaching, and team challenges that are geared around the theme of “loser” (think biggest loser). We realize that “loser” may not be a word that you hope people would use to describe you, but at august blast this year God is going to show us how being a big loser is the only way to win at life!
The Variety Show is back this year! Acts can include skits, bands, vocal or instrumental solos, illusions/tricks, poetry, etc. Contact Pastor Chris to register your act!
You MUST register by July 7 with a $25 non-refundable deposit to lock in the $85 rate AND get a t-shirt!
You may be asking, “What goes on at August B.L.A.S.T.?” IT’s a weekend retreat meant to unite the teens of ELEVATE before we launch another year! Students are split into teams of 4 to 6 and have an adult team leader. The teams compete throughout the weekend in some zany competitions, reaching for the title of “biggest Losers” (in the best sense of the expression). The weekend includes 3 chapel sessions with worship and teaching, 2 campfires with singing and stories, team challenges through the weekend, devotions & prayer, tubing/skiing/swimming/kayaking on beautiful Eagle Lake, tastylicious food, awesome memories, and more.
Contact Pastor Chris with questions * vehicles needed * parents welcome to join us.
