The 3rd and Last Year of Refresh

A few years ago God put it on our hearts to start a regular community-wide worship night. The plans and prayers solidified and became a reality when we started REFRESH in 2009. We had the idea of incorporating the arts into worship because of our church backgrounds and experience. As we sought God for the details, God gave us the name "REFRESH", and REFRESH was born! It delights us to see REFRESH in its 3rd year and to know that people are blessed by the opportunity to come together and worship God in a community-wide event, and it delights us to hear testimonies of God working in people’s lives as they worship.

This is our 3rd and last year of REFRESH. From the beginning we planned on it being for "a season". We feel this is the right time to bring REFRESH to a close, at the end of this international school year. Ken and Roslyn are going back to Australia for a couple of years. Mark and Dana are seeking God about starting a new worship night.

The last REFRESH will be on May 18, 2012. We hope and pray that all who would be blessed by REFRESH will come to the remaining REFRESH worship nights – Jan 20, Feb 17, Mar 30, Apr 27, May 18.

Come and be REFRESHed!

Blessings,
Ken & Roslyn Manson and Mark & Dana Ritchie
