This year our annual ICCF Spring Retreat will be meeting at Cedar Lake Ministries,  in Cedar Lake Indiana, about 35 miles south of downtown Chicago.  If you are interested, more information about the site can be found at www.cedarlakeministries.org.  The retreat will begin at around 7 p.m. on Friday the 19th of March, and will conclude at 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon, March 21st.  The topic of our Spring Retreat will be Worship With Life: Your Significant Others.   Our guest speaker, Pastor Shih Ke-Gang, will be speaking on a variety of topics ranging from what it means to be a Christian to marriage and dating relationships.  Whether you have been a believer for some time or even if you re simply interested in knowing more about Jesus Christ, Pastor Shih will have valuable insights and wisdom you won t want to miss out on.   

For many of us at ICCF, the Spring Retreat is the highlight of our school year.  We look forward to the time spent focusing on God away from the busyness and stress of our UIUC campus, and cherish the time spent singing and worshiping with brothers and sisters, hearing the messages from exciting speakers, enjoying meals and (frequent) snacks together, discussing what we ve learned, writing and receiving spur notes  of encouragement, and, occasionally, sleeping!  Spring Retreat is a great time to meet new people, reconnect spiritually with God or discover who He is for the first time, and to relax in a beautiful environment.  It s a time of learning and relationship building, as we study God s word in the Bible and play unique games designed with our fellowship in mind.  There s so much more to say, but really the only way to understand what Spring Retreat is all about is to attend yourself!  This year, our retreat fees are $85 per person.  These fees only cover part of the costs, so if you feel led to do so, you re welcome to offer more.  That said, please don t let finances keep you from attending  speak with your group VP and financial aid can be arranged.  Hope to see you there!
