Round The Fire
Young Adult Retreat for NC/SC
January 17th -20th
At Lake Junaluska.
Join us as we gather ‘Round the Fire as we seek to follow Jesus. ‘Round the Fire is the very first young adult retreat of the Global Methodist Churches of Carolinas. The Global Methodist Churches of North Carolina and South Carolina are partnering to rekindle the Methodist movement among young adults 40 and under. Where: Our retreat will be held at Lake Junaluska Assembly, which is located adjacent to Waynesville, Maggie Valley, and only 45 minutes from Asheville, North Carolina. This location is central for our two states and offers great facilities as well as abundant opportunities to enjoy the North Carolina mountains.
When: The retreat is scheduled for Friday, January 17th through Monday, January 20th. Are you unable to attend the full length of the retreat? Guests are welcome to arrive late, depart early, or schedule a mid-retreat absence if necessary.
Who: Young adults 40 and under are invited to attend. This includes recent high school graduates, college students, those in the workforce, young parents, and even their young children. Laity and clergy from both conferences are invited to attend. Young people play an important role in the movement of the gospel and we are excited to create spaces to nurture, equip, and network young believers in North and South Carolina.
What: The ‘Round the Fire theme was selected to create an intimate space for reflection, retreat from our daily tasks, and to be renewed in our walk with the Lord. The imagery of gathering around a campfire caught the heart of our passion to spark a movement centered on the essentials of the faith. Global Methodism is returning to the roots of our Wesleyan heritage, and what better way to rekindle our faith than in simple spaces that invite the Holy Spirit to renew our heart, renew our relationships with one another, and unite young people together as they seek to lead in their homes, churches, and communities.
Price: Registration is $299 before November 1 and $399 after November 1. The retreat cost covers lodging, meals, and all retreat programming. We encourage young adults who are interested in attending to talk with their local church about scholarship or support dollars. Local churches are stronger when their young adults are growing in the faith.
