FORGE is a specialized men's retreat put on by The Crossing Foursquare Church in Mena, Arkansas. The retreat happens about 20 minutes outside of town near Wolf Pen Gap at a lodge and campground called Sugar Creek Lodging.

The event consists of meals together, fellowship and games (both outdoor and indoor), teachings from various teachers at The Crossing, and worship and prayer in the Shady Lady Saloon all together (yes that is the real name of our meeting space).

So pack a sherpa or a lined hoodie, bring your favorite board game or book, invite a brother, and join us the weekend of January 26-28 for FORGE 2024.

This year: It's all about Jesus. We will study what it means to be a REAL man by looking at excerpts from the life and teachings of Jesus, the Teacher. We will learn about the following four tenets of becoming a REAL man by studying stories from the life of Jesus:

• Reject Passivity
• Expect the Greater Reward
• Accept Responsibility
• Lead Courageously

We hope you will join us for an exciting and deeply formative experience for men of any age and background. See you at FORGE.
