Young Fathers Hold Retreat

On Nov. 6-8, 2020, men of the Fort Worth and Houston, Texas, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, congregations met for a young fathers’ retreat campout. This (social-distanced) weekend focused on the biblical role of fathers, the importance of a strong marriage and its impact on children, and the challenges facing fathers in a world seeking to diminish or even remove their vital place in the family.

A sunset dinner was enjoyed around the fire, surrounded by the peace of God’s creation. The fathers (and even one father-to-be!) had an opportunity to introduce themselves and their families. Each expressed how much they appreciated the opportunity to take part in the retreat and—of course—how much they enjoy being fathers.

With every presentation being interactive, each man was able to share experiences and give valuable input to the group. The weekend proved a valuable resource with many takeaways from each session.

Committed to following the example of our Heavenly Father as He raises His children, the men broke camp Sunday afternoon, returning to their families better prepared to fulfill their roles as husbands and fathers.
