ReFocus 2019 (Sept 27-29)
On September 27-29, the Chicagoland churches of the Thrive Network will be coming together for our annual ReFocus weekend. This is a time in which we unplug from the busy distractions of our daily life and intentionally seek to refocus our eyes on Christ and the things which are eternal. We are very excited to have Dr. Jerry Root join us and we are anticipating a memorable weekend in which God moves in powerful ways. The theme for this year is “God is Everywhere.” Dr. Root will help us see how God is at work everywhere around us and challenge us to bring His kingdom into this broken world.
