For the majority of 2020 we had to cancel retreats, trips, and alot of in person events. This Fall we came up with our Fall Back Series that will provide a time for teens to fall back to the Basics of the Faith and get Re-energized and re-connect with friends and God.
We encourage all teens to at least sign up for one of the dates. Both of these will be in the local area, outside, and have some of the elements of things that we do on retreat. The Fall Back Series does NOT replace going on retreat but will help the teens grow in faith.
The Dates are:
Saturday October 10, 2020 - 9am to 9pm - "Back To Basics"
or
Saturday November 11, 2020 - 9am to 9pm - "Spoken"
Registration is required and open to all teens even those that have selected to attend online.
We will also be hosting a Fall Virtual Retreat with Life Teen International on October 16-18, More info coming soon.
