FALL YOUTH RETREAT: NOV. 3-5

Senior high youth: Want to reconnect with all the friends you made at camp and National Youth Conference? Are you ready to learn more about your faith and the journey on which God is calling you? Come to the FALL DISTRICT YOUTH RETREAT!

The retreat is Nov. 3-5, as part of district conference at York Center Church of the Brethren in Lombard, Ill. We will take part in worship at district conference, but most of our other activities will take place at a nearby church, where we'll also be staying overnight.

The speaker for the retreat will be Jim Chinworth, campus minister at Manchester College in Indiana. Jim, who has also served as a pastor in Pennsylvania, brings a unique and engaging style to exploring what God's Word has to say to us. Food, games, vespers, recreation, and a service project will also be part of the weekend.

It is open to all youth in grades 9-12 and youth advisors. Watch for registration materials soon, or visit www.cobyouth.org for updates.

Other dates to put on your calendar: Christian Citizenship Seminar March 24-29, 2007; Regional Youth Conference at Manchester April 27-29, 2007. A district volleyball fundraiser and spring youth retreat are also in the works.
