A great deal of prayer and planning has been going into the preparations for the upcoming Lighted Way Ministries Spring Retreat (for Passover - Unleavened Bread). As a result, we have many timely and spirit filled topics, workshops, speakers and activities to look forward to.
Passover experience begins at 5:30 PM on Sunday, April 20. There will be a Passover meal, a Powerpoint presentation showing the Gospel in the Passover service, music, a footwashing service and more. Please note: the Passover meal does not include a lamb - because we believe that Christ, our Lamb, has already died and claim His sacrifice by faith. In addition, both unleavened bread and unleavened wine (grape juice) are served during this entirely vegan meal. Cost to attend this meal is $5.00 per person (to help cover the cost of the food). If you plan to attend, please contact us right away to sign up in advance.

Campeeting-style meetings will be taking place throughout the week of Unleavened Bread (beginning on April 21). The following speakers will be sharing at the upcoming retreat:

Pastor Mark Maccarone, who shared the Prescription for Victory series with us at the retreat last fall, will be joining us against for the upcoming Spring Retreat. This time Pastor Maccarone will be sharing with us an 8-part series about how to prepare for the last days. There will be timely information about the Vatican, coming out of Babylon, and getting ready to meet our soon coming Saviour.

Pastor Stephen Wallace, a Seventh-day Adventist minister who is known for his powerful "From Glory to Glory" series on Christian character development as well as his vocalist/guitarist (no "Christian" rock) as part of the S.D.A. group "Take 3," will be sharing with us a timely ten-part series on sanctification and how to have a Christ-like character.

Shauna Manfredine, co-leader of Lighted Way Ministries, will be sharing a seven-part series on the three layers of fulfillment in Daniel's 70 week prophecy. The well-known fulfillment of this Daniel 9 prophecy, which happened from 457 B.C. to 34 A.D., is only the first layer. In this series, we will be delving into the future application this important prophecy has for us as a people. Titles in this series include: "Future Value to Daniel's 70 Week Prophecy," "Insights into Messiah's Life and Ministry," "Exposing the False Messiah," "Tammuz Worship in the Crucifixion Story," "From Water to Fire," and more...

Mark Manfredine, co-leader of Lighted Way Ministries, will be sharing a series about the annual Sabbaths and why we keep them. His series will be addressing recent arguments against "feast-keeping" raised by our brothers and sisters in the Adventist church. He will also share a fresh and affirming perspective on Leviticus 23 and what it takes to please God as loving followers of the Way.

Danette Davis, author of the book Statutes for the Remnant, will be returning to share with us a powerful Alpha and Omega Apostasy series. Titles in this series include: "The Warning," "Into the New World Language," "The Omega is Here," "The Whole World Followed," and "Infiltration Complete."

Gerald Latal, professional massage therapy instructor and expert in essential oils from Redding, California, will join us to share a valuable Essential Oils workshop. The entire workshop will encompass 8 hours.

Cindy Hernandez, an excellent vegan cook (who will also be preparing our retreat meals this time), will be teaching a free vegan cooking school. This cooking school will not only include demonstrations and education into healthy eating, but also will include delicious recipes to take home to bless the whole family.

In addition, there will be several speakers who will share an individual sermon with us. These include: Lou Davis, who will share a personal testimony of why he believes and keeps the annual Sabbaths; Kaytie Hernandez, (age 14) who will share an informative talk about the "beast" days and their pagan origins; Trevor Hernandez (age 12) who will share a timely message about music and whether or not there is such a thing a "Christian" rock; and Christopher Manfredine (age 13), who will share recent evidence for Creation that is even changing the minds of encrusted evolutionists.

We anticipate also having a wonderful VBS-style program for children ages 3-10, a ministry-oriented, point system program for pre-teens and teens; a couple of nature trips; music; food; fellowship and more! We hope to see you there!
