High School Spring Retreat
April 26-28
Ocean Isle Beach, NC
Let’s Go! Join us for a weekend of rest, growth, and fun at the beach.
How often do we hesitate to do what God has called us to do? We seek confirmation, ask friends for advice, and we…wait. I’d be willing to bet God has told us to go do something—talk to a friend about Jesus, serve someone, or take a risk in our faith. But, for some reason, we hesitate. This retreat will challenge us to take that first step toward doing what God is calling us to do. We’ll look at three characters from the Old Testament who God called to “GO," each with a much different response.

Summer Camp
July 8-12
Eastern Mennonite University | Harrisonburg, VA
PASSPORTmissions blends the excitement of summer camp with the adventure of a mission trip. For five days and four nights, students will grow closer to the Lord, put their faith in action through meaningful mission projects and have the summer of their lives! Some highlights include:
- 3 Hours of Hands-On Mission Work Per Day
- Themed Bible Study
- Morning Celebrations & Worship
- Camp Parties-Rec Party, Dance, Variety Show
This summer's theme is "Come to the Water." Oceans cover most of our planet. Streams sustain life for the tiniest and tallest of creatures. Our bodies are mostly made of it. Water is life, both physically and spiritually. The Bible uses images of water to help us understand more about who God is and how to trust in the Living Water. Discovering the power and the presence of God's Spirit in our lives can feel like rain on a dusty garden. "All of you who are thirsty, come to the water!" - Isaiah 55:1a
The cost is $450/student. (A non-refundable deposit of $200 is due by April 29th.) Sibling discounts and scholarships are available. For more information, contact Dane or Kristen.
On June 23rd at 11:45am, participants, adult leaders, and parents/caregivers are invited to a meeting to ask any final questions about camp, review the weekly schedule, meet our adult leaders, and turn in any outstanding payments or forms.
