CVCF 2020 Retreat Update

April 24th, 2020

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are writing to inform you that we will no longer be able to gather for CVCF Youth Retreat 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are greatly disappointed, but trust in the Lord’s sovereignty.

We prayed, hoped, and waited. August may be far away, but we had to make a decision before the contract penalty deadline. Our love for neighbors and submission to authority override our desire to gather, sing, hear good preaching, eat midnight snacks, and throw water balloons at each other. We trust you are praying fervently for the Gospel to advance and caring for the weakest and poorest among us.

Is there any CVCF event this year?

Even though we will not be able to gather this year, we are planning to have a small virtual gathering around the same time as this year's retreat would be. Praise God for technology. This would be a great time for us to reconnect with each other and worship our God.

More information about the 2020 Virtual Gathering here.

What about CVCF Youth Retreat 2021?

We hope that you are able to join us for next year. Save the date!

CVCF 2021 YOUTH RETREAT

Theme: Abide in Christ (John 15: 1-17)

Thursday, July 29th, 2021 – Sunday, August 1st, 2021

Black Rock Retreat in Quarryville, PA

There are many uncertainties in the world that we live in. However, there is no reason for us to fear because we certainly know that our God is good, and he is in control. Yet, there is always a reason for us to give thanks to God for who he is and all that he has done. Please take a moment to give thanks to God. Also, please take a moment to pray for CVCF. Pray for our churches. Pray for our country leaders. Pray for medical staff. Pray for our family and neighbors. Pray that God might use your ministry and ours at precisely this moment to tell our neighbors that Jesus is coming.

No matter the circumstance, we are called to walk with God, to live a Christ centered life, and to share the Gospel. Let’s live for the Gospel!

All Glory to God,

Bao Pham

Director of CVCF
