The future is filled with hope and excitement, but its uncertainty can sometimes be overwhelming. Making choices and discerning God’s will for our lives can feel like the children’s game of jumping from one element to another while trying not to fall into a flow of lava. This Retreat is designed to harness a middle schooler’s natural curiosity about the future while also integrating it into conversations surrounding God’s loving care, discernment, mentorship, and healthy emotional wellbeing.
Join us for lunch, a talk, games , and times for personal reflection and group conversation. Along the way, we'll explore how to approach the future with hope and confidences, while remaining grounded in our relationship with Jesus.
