Peace Retreats with On Earth Peace

How are your youth responding to violence in their schools, families, and communities? Many youth face or witness bullying every day, how is your youth programming equipping them to follow Jesus by advocating for justice?

On Earth Peace is continuing their Peace Retreats program, offering retreats to junior and senior high youth. Peace Retreats are a time for youth to develop skills as peacemakers, while creating a closer connection amongst each other and with God. Youth will have a chance to dive into scripture, while collectively exploring how God’s message of peace is applicable in our everyday lives. Depending on your congregations wants, themes can vary from engaging current issues like bullying to conflict resolution and peacemaking in our everyday life. Youth will have times to worship and fellowship together, work in small groups, use their creativity, and have fun.
