CrossTraining Annual Retreat on the Horizon
 
Chaplains and advisors to meet in Colorado to pray and plan for upcoming season of ministry

With the start to the Major League Soccer season less than two weeks away, CrossTraining is making final preparations for it's second annual chaplain and advisors retreat. In the run up to the opening match against the Portland Timbers on Saturday, March 19, CrossTraining Director Brad Kenney seized the opportunity to invite Ben Dudley (Portland) and retreat just before the opening kickoff.
Thanks to a gracious donor, the CrossTraining team will be able to get away into the mountains for a couple of days to meet and discuss plans for ministry. If you would like to help defray any costs for the retreat you can simply donate electronically and mark your gift as "Retreat 2011" in the PayPal comments section.
Please pray for this pivotal time in the year, that as the first whistle blows, that CrossTraining could hit the ground running with the Rapids and Timbers into the long season ahead.
