Some of our churches that network with EGP are coming together in the DFW area for this vital retreat. We’ll be encouraging how to save yourself from pre-marital sex and for those who have may no longer be virgins, how to make a fresh commitment to be pure from this day forward. We’ll be looking into keeping ourselves pure physically but also mentally and how to have healthy relationships and avoid the ones that can get us into serious trouble. Hearing from those who have kept themselves pure and from those who have been a part of relationships they deeply regret. We can settle for second best or choose to wait for God’s best.

Guys & girls need to know how to really treat each other like God intended.

At the end of the retreat, those who are interested (regardless of their past) will have the opportunity to make a fresh dedication to purity (see it here.)
