**THIS EVENT IS ONLY FOR SINGLES IN THEIR 20s, 30s & 40s. YOU MUST REGISTER AT THE LINK BELOW**Sometimes the best memories aren't made during a big event—they're made sitting around a table, laughing way too late, sharing a meal and some hot chocolate, playing games, having meaningful conversations, and simply enjoying being together.
This Christmas, Echo Next Gen & PRIME is getting away for a special two-night retreat near Lake Lanier! We'll spend the weekend relaxing, playing reindeer games, eating some great food, connecting with one another, and taking some intentional time to focus on what Christmas is really about… the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
And of course, we're adding a little Christmas magic! We'll head over to Lake Lanier Islands for the Magical Nights of Lights, pile in together, turn up the Christmas music, and experience miles of incredible Christmas lights!
It's a chance to get away from the busyness of life, deepen friendships, make some new ones, and spend meaningful time with other singles in their 20s, 30s and 40s who are pursuing Christ and doing life together.

SLEEPING: There will be a combination of beds, bunkbeds, sleeper sofas and air-mattresses. On the bigger king beds, we will need the ladies to share. Of course, you can always sleep at your house and join us in the morning (price is the same).

ADDRESS: Will be given in an email to those who register!
PRICE: $124.95 (Covers lodging, meals, snacks, drinks & admission to the Magical Night of Lights)
