Join many people from Ebenezer BFC at this wonderful weekend conference, including our Senior  Pastor, Tim Gibson, as one of the Workshop Speakers.  Keeping the cross clearly in view, the 2018 Quakertown Conference on Reformed Theology will draw our attention to Calvary. The focus will be on the centrality of the cross, the offense of the cross, the meaning of the cross, and the joy of the cross by drawing upon God’s Word and expounding it with power and compassion.

WHAT?: Calling all men…Ebenezer is holding a retreat for all the men from the church! Please plan to join us for a weekend away.

THEME: APPROVED… God has called us not only to be holy, but to lead our families, communities, and church in holiness. With the incessant temptation to do evil, how do we accomplish this? In our quest for holiness, the scripture calls us to study to show ourselves approved. What does that look like in our daily lives? How can we apply it at work, at home, and in our alone time? Certainly not alone…therefore: come join us for this weekend of fun, fellowship, worship, prayer, and study of 2 Timothy 2.

LOCATION: Join us at Pinebrook Bible Conference, 5339 Pinebrook Road, East Stroudsburg, PA 183010

REGISTRATION: The cost is $88 which includes, sleeping arrangements, one meal Friday evening, and three meals on Saturday, along with all activities. Please sign up in the church foyer by November 14 using the envelopes on the bulletin board in the church foyer to register and pay. Come be a part of a weekend with other men that promises to transform your life by the living, abiding Word of God!

QUESTIONS: can be directed to Marcus Brunstetter (thebrucrew09 null@null gmail NULL.com), 610-295-3857.
