PWYouth Fall Retreat
Oct 27 – Oct 29 all-day

The 198Os brought us some of the most amazing love songs and romantic movie scenes the world has ever known. Kids of the 8Os grew up learning all about love through big on-screen gestures and rock bands with amazing hair, but several decades later we still don’t have a full grasp on what exactly we mean when we talk about love. The word love itself might bring up a different idea or memory for each person who hears it – so what exactly is love? At this retreat we’ll look at the words of Jesus and his closest followers to discover that love is not something we should have to earn or something only meant for a few. Instead, we are free to love others and we are free to be loved.

 

Activities include: Large group worship times, small groups, basketball tournaments, hide and seek games, watercolor, dance parties, and so much more!

 

Who: students in grades 6-12

Where: Youthfront West

When: October 27-29

Cost: $8O

Registration closes October 6!

Putting Your House in Order – 11/4/23
Nov 4 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am

Are there things you’d like to get in order that would make your intentions clear for your loved ones if you become incapacitated or after you’re gone? Things like:

 

  • How to organize your financial affairs and gather important documents.
  • How to put together a will or trust that reflects your wishes.
  • How to have an open conversation with loved ones about sensitive but important decisions.
  • The people, memories, and dates that have been significant in your life
  • What you’d like your service of remembrance to include & so much more!

Although sometimes emotional and difficult to discuss and discern, this information is an amazing gift from you to your loved ones!

 

People of all ages and stages are welcome to attend as either individuals or as couples. Having a will or other previous plans discerned is not necessary. This workshop is not soliciting any legal or financial services. Parents of dependent children will also be offered information about guardianship.

 

Breakfast will be served, so be sure to RSVP today!
