October 15-17
Hey Youth and Parents!
The summer is still warm and there is plenty to do but guess what. The fall is almost here! Fall means Fall Retreat! There are only 6 weeks left until our third annual Fall Retreat! This year, we will be having our retreat at Twin Lakes Bible Camp in Manson (3 hours west).
Who:
All students 6th grade – 12th grade (during the 2021-2022 school year) (Both Thrive & Rooted).
What:
Retreats are a special time for youth groups. It is when students get to “escape” from their normal routine of school and life and go to spend time together and to encounter God. Through a series of teachings, intimate worship, extended fellowship and activities, devotionals and God-time, and good food, students will encounter God and move closer in their relationship with God. This fall, we will be focusing on the why we can be confident in our faith and how to talk to our friends when they don't believe in the Christian God.
