I AM, because of I AM - F3 2nd Annual Men's Retreat

Overview of Retreat: 

This 2 day get-away will focus on strengthening one another in Christ, our faith, our discipline, our hearts - so we can then pour ourselves in a healthy and vibrant way into our families, brothers in Christ, etc.  This retreat will teach us how to address our burdens as modern day men head on, own them and use them for a source of good.
