Chronicles 2017: Insights of the Reformation

May 26, 2017 - May 28, 2017

$170
Chronicles 2017 | CompassCall.ca

The tag line for Chronicles is “why Christian history matters,” because, well, Christian history does matter. There appears to be woeful ignorance and under-appreciation for the men and women who have gone on before us. These men and women have been part of a movement here, a development there, and have lived their lives (and given them, too), for the sake of the Gospel.

New this year we are offering the option of a visit to the Big Valley Creation Science Museum and paintball. These optional activities involve an additional fee (paintball fee is $20, includes gear and 50 paintballs; museum fee is $5/person, $15/family), so come prepared.

THE DETAILS

*If this fee is unaffordable, please contact Kendra Funston for more information.

This weekend seminar runs from Friday evening through Sunday noon. It starts with a session at 7:30 pm Friday evening and ends with lunch at 12:30 pm on Sunday. Your fee includes accommodations, meals and snacks, printed notes, and a speaker honorarium. A more detailed schedule will be available on registration.
