2014 Winter Retreat: Rise

Winter Retreat: Rise (2014) from Christopher Orr on Vimeo.

Winter Retreat will be January 17-19. We will leave from the youth house at 5 pm. We will stop at a McDonalds on the way to retreat for those that did not have time to eat dinner beforehand. ET is not providing this meal, but will provide the rest of the meals. 

We will arrive at Windemere resorts in Roach, Missouri around 7. 

Our retreat speaker will be Miguel Guerreiro.  

Students will be split up into 4 teams. These teams will bond through competitive and creative games. 

There are about 8 rooms that we will use for sleeping. Students wil be in a room with 3-5 other students of the same age and gender and an adult leader. That leader will have completed a background check before we leave. Saturday will consist of gym games, devotions, board games, team games, and a big service on saturday night. 

Sunday we will have a time to debrief what God has spoken to us over the weekend and then head out to Ha Ha Tonka to hike. We will return by 6pm on Sunday night.

The cost of the trip is $50. The application and money is due Wednesday, January 15th. The application can be downloaded here. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to post a comment or get in touch with me through my cell phone.
