Spiritual Retreat Weekend

During the winter months, usually February, the whole youth ministry goes on a spiritual weekend retreat to the mountains. The purpose of this retreat is for spiritual growth, unity building, fellowship and fun. Youth are responsible for doing the work to include cooking meals, clean up, preparation and teaching of spiritual topics, and planning and leadership of games and activities. This is a favorite event for all yout hand leaders!! The lodge is reserved big enough for all the participants. This weekend has several objectives:

• to unify all the youth (both middle school and high school students together),
• to spend time together in small groups which are randomly assigned through a drawing,
• to work together in assigned “chores” such as cooking and planning games,
• to study together through carefully planned spiritual lessons, and
• to worship together in the spirit of praise.

The next Spiritual Weekend Retreat is scheduled for February 15-17, 2008.

Passport

Passport is the highlight of the year for all the youth! This is the annual church camp experience which includes a daily abbreviated mission experience. Passport camps are available in several locations, so, a variety is offered by taking the youth to new places.
