RETREAT BEGINS MONDAY! WOOT!

 

Summer retreat is a time for youth to retreat into the woods with few distractions and lots of Christian family around them.  We spend a lot of time worshipping God, listening to the speaker, playing outdoors together, and eating!  This retreat’s theme is “Renew” based on Romans 12:2.  As the youth get ready for the week, pray their hearts would be soft to hear God’s voice and be truly renewed.
 
8/1 – Campers need to arrive at the campground by 4pm
I and a few counselors are able to drive some campers who may need rides (YOU MUST CONTACT ME TO HAVE A SEAT).  We will meet at Crosspoint – Milpitas, at 12:30pm on 8/1.
 
8/4 – Campers will be leaving camp at 1pm and must be gone by 2pm
 
If you would like a more detailed schedule as well as cabin assignments and daily devotion study, please find that HERE
