LiveDead21 & ABANDON WEEKEND
Parents and Students,
We are so excited to announce LiveDead21 and Abandon that will take place in February. We will be
doing a 4-week series called LiveDead21 where we will be raising awareness for missions, challenging
students to die to something for 21 days (social media, food elements, etc.). We are also asking them to
take part in the Abandon weekend where they will serve all over Ocala! You will find a flyer with more
information on LiveDead21 at Fuse or JV.
What:
Abandon Weekend
Date:
Friday, February 21 – Saturday, February 22
Where:
Meadowbrook Church & Church of The Springs
Ultimate Goal: To see students who are broken and lost come to know Jesus while discipling students
with greater passion, faith and ability to impact their generation. This can be accomplished through
developing an awareness of missions and then deploying students to make a difference.
Our Speakers and Worship Team: Students will encounter God through two powerful services Friday
and Saturday night and then take part in service projects Saturday morning and afternoon. The Church of
the Springs worship team will lead worship and Andrew Gard, the Campus Pastor at Southeastern
University, will be the guest speaker.
Price: Students & Leaders: $21
This cost includes all meals and activities during the retreat! Students will receive a LIVEDEAD21 shirt
and will be challenged to wear their shirts for 21 days leading up to Abandon weekend. Students should
bring some extra $$$ for concessions.
