SUMMARY:Midweek Summer Worship at the Conference & Retreat Center
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a summer of delicious food\, immersion in nature\, warm fellowship\, and inspiring worship! Each midweek begins with a chef-prepared meal\, followed by an engaging nature talk\, and concludes with a worship service featuring Mount Olivet pastors and musicians. \nThis year’s theme\, Set Free\, Sent Forth\, traces one of Scripture’s most enduring promises — that in Christ\, we are liberated from everything that holds us captive. This freedom is not something we achieve or work toward; it is a gift of grace\, received through faith in the God who has already acted decisively on our behalf. \nYet God’s liberation always has a direction and a purpose. We are freed for relationship\, for mutual care and flourishing\, for the full life God intended for all of us from the very beginning. And here is the beautiful paradox: the Christian set free does not simply walk away unencumbered. Freed from the tyranny of self-justification\, we find ourselves joyfully\, gratefully bound to one another — not by compulsion or duty\, but by love. \nCome spend your summer evenings renewed by these stories of liberation\, the beauty of God’s creation\, and the joy of community. \nSchedule:\n4:15pm: Transportation leaves Mpls Campus\n4:30pm Transportation leaves West Campus\n4:45pm: Transportation Leaves 7500 York\n5:30-6:30pm: Dinner Served\n6:30-7pm: Nature Talk\n7:15pm: Worship\n8pm: Transportation departs Conference & Retreat Center \nCost: Dinner and Program $20. Bus Transportation $10. Please call the Conference & Retreat Center at 952.469.2175 with any questions you might have.

SUMMARY:Midweek Summer Worship at the Conference & Retreat Center
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a summer of delicious food\, immersion in nature\, warm fellowship\, and inspiring worship! Each midweek begins with a chef-prepared meal\, followed by an engaging nature talk\, and concludes with a worship service featuring Mount Olivet pastors and musicians. \nThis year’s theme\, Set Free\, Sent Forth\, traces one of Scripture’s most enduring promises — that in Christ\, we are liberated from everything that holds us captive. This freedom is not something we achieve or work toward; it is a gift of grace\, received through faith in the God who has already acted decisively on our behalf. \nYet God’s liberation always has a direction and a purpose. We are freed for relationship\, for mutual care and flourishing\, for the full life God intended for all of us from the very beginning. And here is the beautiful paradox: the Christian set free does not simply walk away unencumbered. Freed from the tyranny of self-justification\, we find ourselves joyfully\, gratefully bound to one another — not by compulsion or duty\, but by love. \nCome spend your summer evenings renewed by these stories of liberation\, the beauty of God’s creation\, and the joy of community. \nSchedule:\n4:15pm: Transportation leaves Mpls Campus\n4:30pm Transportation leaves West Campus\n4:45pm: Transportation Leaves 7500 York\n5:30-6:30pm: Dinner Served\n6:30-7pm: Nature Talk\n7:15pm: Worship\n8pm: Transportation departs Conference & Retreat Center \nCost: Dinner and Program $20. Bus Transportation $10. Please call the Conference & Retreat Center at 952.469.2175 with any questions you might have.
