January 31st - February 2nd2025 MC Sask Youth Retreat

 


It is with much joy an anticipation that we finalize plans for the 2025 MC Sask Youth Retreat, Jan. 31- Feb 2 at the Shekinah Retreat Centre. We are so excited to have a weekend of worship, community-building, and fun! We hope your youth can plan to join us!

 

 

This year we managed to keep Kirsten Hamm-Epp around for a little longer as our speaker, and we also anticipate the retreat band (Zac Schellenberg and Clay Buhler) to make an appearance!

 

 

In a return to form, we will be staying in the Timber Lodge for all the usual fun: the coffeehouse, worship, sledding, and games both outside and in!

 

 

A couple additional details to take note of:

  • The retreat includes the full ‘youth’ age range of gr. 6-12. This creates an opportunity for all youth to rise up and do their part to ensure everyone has the best experience possible.

  • Sponsors (adult leaders) play an important role during the retreat, and we do ask that every congregation sending youth send along a sponsor as well. However, this is not meant to be prohibitive, please let me know if your youth will need to be paired with another group.

These retreats are always a big highlight of the year, and a great time for to youth to connect with their wider church family and their Creator in wacky, wild, and wonderful ways!
