Encounter is a 4 part event that starts with a social gathering. The social time helps bring those participating in Encounter into community with one and other. Encounter is intentional in building community among participants. After the social time, there is a period of dynamic praise and worship, followed by a teaching, and ending with Eucharistic Adoration.
The theme of this Encounter is Grace.
“For the grace of God has appeared, saving all…” -Titus 2:11
God’s readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation’s available for everyone! We’re being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now, and is whetting our appetites for the glorious day when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, appears. He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us a people he can be proud of, energetic in goodness. – Titus 2:11-14 (MSG)
