If God has called on your heart to participate in the weekend, then answer that call and register for an upcoming weekend by clicking on the "Guest" or "Sleeper" registration button. Locate a sponsor from the community and they can help answer any questions you may have about the weekend. Your sponsor is an excellent resource and they will continue to guide and counsel you as the weekend draws near.
