Make it a Weekend Getaway:

Want to get away for a night or the entire weekend? Sonlit Acres has nine beautiful guest rooms available on a first come, first served basis. Book a room for Friday night or Saturday night or both nights (depending on availability). A light breakfast will be provided for all overnight guests. The cost for one night is $95 (double occupancy).

Facilitators:

Meet Angela and Todd Johnson. Angela and Todd have been on staff with Cru for 30 years serving in Missouri, California, and in Nebraska for the past 22. The mission of CRU City is: "Kingdom citizens advancing the mission of Jesus for the well-being of the city."

Through their time spent in campus ministry, they have gained a vision for raising up healthcare workers trained to do spiritual care with their patients. Health professionals are in highly strategic and perhaps unparalleled positions to influence people for the gospel. They coach student leaders at Clarkson, UNMC and Creighton Med Center. They train, equip, and mobilize those in the health profession to best respond to the many ministry opportunities God brings to them in the clinical setting. Todd and Angela do this through Dr. Dinners, Ethics Lunches, Bible studies, Global Missions Health Conferences, and mentoring. They would like to see every healthcare student sent into their profession trained to provide spiritual care for their patients and their co-workers around them.

Todd currently serves on the national team for Church Movements. He is working on developing strategic partnerships to bring redemption to the biggest needs of the city. He is a member of the Omaha 360 violence prevention coalition. He meets monthly with local pastors for evangelism and discipleship training. He also leads a weekly bible study through Good News Jail and Prison Ministry with inmates at the Douglas County Jail, and helps with prayer times through First Responders Prayer when homicides occur in our city to help let the friends and families of the deceased know they are not alone.

She also gives leadership to various groups of women and meets with students, mothers, and artists for discipleship. Together, Todd and Angela, recently joined the local Family Life volunteer team and provide discipleship and encouragement to individuals who accepted Christ during a local Weekend to Remember conference. They desire to see new believers grow in their faith walk and have a legacy marriage that will impact future generations. You can learn more about Todd and Angela on their website at: https://churchmovements.com/.

Curriculum:

Love Like You Mean It

You’ve been lied to about love...and it’s time to know the truth. Join Bob Lepine, Co-Host of FamilyLifeToday® on this journey of redefining true love by walking through 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

Brought to you by FamilyLife, a leader in biblical marriage content for more than 40 years, the Love Like You Mean It video study will empower you and your spouse to love each other the way God intended.

Each session includes a group kickstarter and a 20 minute video full of applicable truth, honest couples, and a few laughs along the way. The video sessions are expertly paired with discussion prompts and a fun couples challenge - so you can go from ‘watching and learning’ to ‘understanding and doing.’

Dinner Menu:

Dinner will be served at your own private bistro table on the spacious patio by Abraham's Catering. The standard meal* for the evening is:

•Raspberry Balsamic Chicken -- Raspberry Balsamic Glaze & Garnished with Feta, Chopped Walnuts, Raspberry (GF)

•Roasted Rosemary Potatoes (GF)

•Roasted Fresh Vegetables (GF)

•Mixed Greens -- Vinaigrette with Artichoke Hearts, Hearts of Palm, Tomatoes, Black Olives (GF)

•Rolls -- Butter (NOT gluten free)

•Dessert Course: Italian Tiramisu -- Chef's Garnish (GF)

We hope you will join us and invite your friends!
