Crossroads Winter Conference Information


CROSSROADS WINTER CONFERENCE

January 18-21, 2013

 

Hey Student Families: 

 

I’m glad you’ve signed up for our trip to Crossroads Winter Conference at Gatlinburg, TN.  This will be an outstanding few days as we get away for some great worship and spiritual challenge with Clayton King, Carl Cartee and the rest of the Crossroads gang leading the way.  In addition to this, we’ll also enjoy a laid back weekend with the sights and activity of Gatlinburg possibly including (if time and space allows) a trip to Ober Gatlinburg for snow tubing. The rest of the details are below and if you have any questions just give me a holler.
