New Beginnings is a weekend retreat for teenagers in grades 7-9. The weekend is led by a team of mostly teenagers, a few adults, and a spiritual director or two. The weekend takes us through a
discovery about
ourselves,
our friends,
our families,
our faith,
and how to live
out our faith in
our daily lives.
How might this discovery happen?
Through making new friends and sharing with old ones, through singing, skits, talks given by teens, videos, games, worship, and conversation with each other! You are encouraged to bring friends from your church and an adult who will stay through the weekend. Everyone will take an active part in the program. You can go to New Beginnings as many times as you’d like...as long as you’re in grades 7-9. We know once you go, you will want to go back. There is even an opportunity to serve on the team...you’ll hear more about that at the weekend.
