A presbytery retreat for Middle School students is November 16-18 at Holston Camp! This is a great event. If you are interested in attending, e-mail me and I will get you an information form. I will have a bunch of them this weekend at our retreat. Scholarships are available if needed.
Read below for information.
As middle school students begin to figure out who they are in a constantly changing world, they often find themselves lost in a sea of technology, data and constantly changing people. Not only is their world changing, but also is their understanding of the creator of that world. This retreat will help them to discover who they are, whose they are and to find their own space.
