Eyes Lifted - the UofC Navigators Fall Retreat in Kananaskis

At the UofC Navigators "Eyes Lifted" Fall Retreat we'll do a deep dive into the glorious gospel and how the gospel brings healing and peace to our lives and the lives of others.

Chris Barrett, national director of the Navigators of Canada, will be our speaker as we learn together on this wonderful topic. We'll have time to work through Scripture in small group settings, and worship will be an inspirational focus of our weekend. You'll get to choose a specific gospel related workshop theme for further discussion. Plus, this weekend out in the mountains will be a lot of fun.

The registration fee of $195 covers all food, accommodation, bedding, and transportation. If cost is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we don’t want finances to stop anyone from coming.

We depart for the retreat from a student house near UofC at 5:30pm on Friday, September 26 and return at the house by 3pm on Sunday, September 28.

If you're looking for a meaningful way to start the year and meet a bunch of new friends, this is it. Register now to join us!
