One very practical way to do this is to invite friends to join us during our annual retreat and sponsor their attendance. Although Thanksgiving is often a joyous family time, many actually experience sadness and loneliness, which is especially felt during Thanksgiving and the holiday seasons. Invite them to come and join! This is also an opportunity to bring friends who do not yet know Christ.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-2705-1-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-button panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-button so-widget-sow-button-wire-b47125acdd57-2705\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"ow-button-base ow-button-align-center\">\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"http:\/\/www.gii-usa.org\/lax\/thanksgiving-retreat-registration\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sowb-button ow-icon-placement-right\" \t>\n\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-typicons\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xe01a;\"\n\t\tstyle=\"color: #8224e3\" \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n\t\t\tREGISTER ONLINE!\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-2705-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2705-2\" id=\"services\" data-stretch-type=\"full\" ><div id=\"pgc-2705-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-2705-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-video so-widget-sow-video-default-f379b959fc93-2705\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-video-wrapper no-controls\">\n\t\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2019 IEC Thanksgiving Retreat Promo\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ABlKSsJwWF4?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen allowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-2705-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-2705-3\" data-stretch-type=\"full\" ><div id=\"pgc-2705-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-2705-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-headline panel-first-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-2705-3-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-headline so-widget-sow-headline-default-63f80179779c-2705 so-widget-fittext-wrapper\"\n\t\t\t data-fit-text-compressor=\"0.85\"\n\t\t><div class=\"sow-headline-container \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"sow-headline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDID YOU KNOW\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"decoration\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"decoration-inside\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"sow-sub-headline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEach year our church subsidizes a significant portion of the retreat costs\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-2705-3-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><p>For every adult's fee ($140), the church subsidizes $65 ($200.00 approximate unsubsidized fee based on last year's calculation)<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Registration Fees cover only accommodation and meals.
