SHARPE 2010!!!!!

HRC Youth SPIRITUAL RETREAT for 6th – 12 graders

FEB 12 – 14, 2010

@ SHARPE RESERVATION IN FISHKILL, NY

SPEAKER: Carlos DeVitis, M009 speaker and youth pastor at Peninsula Covenant Church, Ca.  Carlos is a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice.  He’s been known to remodel train stations on his lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention.  He writes aeward-winning operas.  Occasionally, Carlos treads water for three days in a row.  He can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and he cooks Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes.  He’s an expert in stucco, a veteran in life and an outlaw in Peru.  Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, he once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants.  In addition to all of this Carlos loves his wife, Emily and his 4 children, and wants them to know him as someone who lived fully in the way of Christ with no regrets.
