"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

- Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30 -

One of the biggest highlights of the year for us at Illini Life is our Fall Retreat. This 2 night, 3 day time away is a chance to grow closer to community and to grow deeper with God. The time spent at the Fall Retreat is an opportunity to take a break from the semester, to grow with God, and to be knit into community

And this year, it's happening on October 2-4th.

We will have food, fun & friends! And, we will dive into God's Word through teachings, personal time with Jesus, and conversations. This is a great time to get off campus and retreat with one another at a local camp. Fall Retreat is where deep relational roots are made that flow back onto campus. It helps create deeper community that lasts all school year and beyond!

Retreat Topic is "How to Thrive!"

We were made to be relationship with God, the creator of all things. Thriving begins there. Over the course of the weekend we'll explore a commitment to being the body of Christ, a commitment to following Jesus, and a commitment to serving God.

We can't wait for you to join us!
