Sometimes, we need to disconnect to reconnect. Take a step back from daily life to pursue a relationship with God. Meet new friends and deepen existing friendships with a variety of games and activities. Find meaning and a place where you belong. All students in grades 7-12 are invited! We will leave on Friday, Nov 18, and will be back Sunday, Nov 20. The retreat will be held at Logan Valley Christian Retreat in Ellington, MO.

The cost is $125 until Oct 14, then the price increases to $150, and scholarships are available. Email Amanda Bond at youth@newmckendree.org with any questions.
