Renewal Conference

The Relationship Between the Spirit and the Cross: A Divine Appointment
June 27-July 2, 2010

As surely as the Holy Spirit drew Jesus to the cross, He draws us to that same meeting place of power and redeeming love.

This summer, join a vibrant community of faith led in an exploration of God’s word while enjoying the beauty and fellowship that flourishes at Kanuga.

Since 1975, Kanuga's Renewal Conference has been an oasis for individuals and families seeking a time truly set apart for reflection, relaxation and transformation.

Enjoy a week with new and old friends where you can immerse yourself in powerful worship and prayer and enjoy a game of tennis, a brisk swim in a mountain lake or a hike to one of Kanuga's panoramic Blue Ridge Mountain overlooks.

Join this community of believers to hear Bible scholar the Rt. Rev. Mark Lawrence speak about the vital connections between the Holy Spirit and the cross and become inspired by the music of The Five O’Clock Band from Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Ala.

Additional workshops will focus on topics ranging from family life to personal testimonies of God’s never failing and life-changing love.
