Messiah Lutheran Church, Knoxville TN

September 4-6, 2010

TEC (Teens Encounter Christ) is movement of personal Christian Renewal within the church. It originated in Missouri under the name “Show Me” TEC. In 2002, folks from North Carolina brought TEC to Tennessee with the guidance and help of the Holy Spirit. It is a highly structured, well-thought-out method of renewing the faith of individuals, the congregations from which they come, and the environments in which they live. TEC is presented as a united effort of laypersons and clergy to aid congregations in the development of young Christian leaders.

A TEC retreat is an encounter with Christ in which the participant becomes part of a community abounding in God’s grace. It enhances and strengthens personal relations with Christ, with our Christian brothers and sisters, and with our community. A TEC retreat is coming face to face with Christ.

At the upcoming weekend, Aaron Liner and Kelsey West will be attending as TECites (first time attendees.) Serving in leadership positions are: Lauren Solberg - WHEAT Team Director; Meaghan Liner - Youth Head of Music; Cameron Driskill and Kelly Cheak - Outside Team Members; Jake Miller - Youth  Head of Kitchen. Pastor Eric Murray will serve as Spiritual Director.

Please keep these folks in your prayers, as well as the 62 other team members and  the 20 other TECites who will be participating in this weekend.
