Called to Serve - an overnight or day retreat this November.
Overnight and day retreat for middle/high schoolers:
Nov 20-21; Nov 21-22
Day option November 21, 9:30am-4pm
Our theme for this year is "Called to Serve" and based in the scripture from 1 Peter 4:10-11
"Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. 11 Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen."
During the retreat, participants will engage in bible studies learning about what it means to be a servant leader, complete a service project, worship together, and play many different games.
This is an LOMC planned and lead event, however all youth groups must have adequate adult supervision during the event. Please plan to bring 1 adult for every 7 youth.
Everything you need to know before you come.
