Leadership:
Our keynote speaker will be Matt Guynn, coordinator of peace witness for On Earth Peace. Matt lives in Richmond, Ind., and attends the Richmond Church of the Brethren. He has led numerous workshops and other events all across the denomination. Students from Manchester College will assist in music leadership for the weekend.



Theme:
"Prepare, God's People!" The Brethren love feast includes a time of preparation, in which Brethren historically were asked whether all was "right" between them and their neighbors. Did any conflict exist? How do we get ourselves "right" with God, or with one another? The weekend will look at ways of dealing with conflict in healthy ways that can transform relationships.

Other Activities:
Worship, games and recreation, an ice cream social, a service project, and lots of fun, food, and fellowship.
