<br />
<ul>
<li>Soon! Friday, November 4th, through Sunday, November 6th.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<i>Where is the Retreat?</i></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>At <a href="http://vesperpoint.org/retreat-conference.html">Camp Vesper Point</a> in Soddy Daisy, TN - just a little over an hour away from Highlands.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Wait - you said Sunday? Are we having church services there?</i></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Yes! Since we want and expect everyone that can to attend the Retreat, we have our usual Sunday Morning worship service out at the camp. There will be no services held at our LaFayette campus on Sunday, Nov. 6th - but those who aren't able to make it to the rest of the retreat are warmly encouraged to join us on Sunday morning at Camp Vesper Point!</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>What will the Retreat be like?</i><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Several sessions of praise & worship and spiritual teaching</li>
<li>Lots of time to play games, talk over coffee, and relax together with your brothers and sisters</li>
<li>A couple of fun surprise events</li>
</ul>
<div>
<i>What are the accommodations like?</i></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Everyone stays in family cabins with individual bunks to hold up to 10-12 people. Most cabins will have two to three families/couples sharing the cabin. There will also be a guys' cabin for some of our single men and a ladies' cabin for some of our single women (although singles may stay with a family if they'd like.) Cabin assignments will be posted the week of the retreat.</li>
<li>Each cabin has a full bathroom with a door, so sharing a cabin is a lot like staying over at someone's house - the bathroom does have to be shared with the others in your cabin!</li>
<li>The cabins are weatherized and have heat and are within easy walking distance of the main meeting building where we eat and have our group activities.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<i>What do I need to bring?</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Yourself and your family.</li>
<li>Your Bible.</li>
<li>Warm clothes and bedding to use on your bunks.</li>
<li>Personal toiletries, towels, etc.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<i>How much is the Retreat?</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Cost is on a sliding scale for family size and the price includes accommodations and all meals Friday evening through Sunday lunch.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div>
Brothers and sisters,</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Some of you may have noticed that our office response time to incoming phone messages has been drastically lengthened for the past couple of weeks and that it has been impossible to get a live person in the office via phone call. We want to apologize for any unreturned phone calls and assure you it is not because the volunteers filling in during Bekah's vacation were in any way negligent.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We switched telephone providers on September 9th and as of yesterday finally discovered that the switch was somehow bungled between the two providers and not completed. We are working to get this fixed sooner-than-possible but are told that it may not happen until sometime next week. We will let you know as soon as the line is functional, and in the meantime, the best way is to contact us by email at pcahighlands@gmail.com . It may or may not be possible for us to check phone messages even if you are able to leave one for us, so please do not assume that we have received your call until we announce that the system is back on.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Thank you for your patience!</div>

<span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">"</span><span style="font-family: 1543HumaneJenson; font-size: 9.5pt;">The bodies of men, after
death, return to dust, and see corruption: but their souls, which neither die
nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave
them: the souls of the righteous, being then made perfect in holiness, are
received into the highest heavens, where they behold the face of God, in light
and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies. And the souls of
the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter
darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day. Beside these two places,
for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledges none.</span><span style="font-size: 9.5pt;">" <br />

is a place in hell where the covetous judge sitteth, the greedy lawyer, the
griping landlord, the careless bishops, the lusty youth, the wanton dames, the
thief, the robbers of the commonwealth. They are punished in this life because
they ever sin as long as they could, while mercy was offered unto them;
therefore because they would not be washed, they shall be drowned.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
