2017 Retreat
Starting the new school year rightLast weekend all Junior and Senior High students played, prayed, partnered and participated together, building relationship together, and learning from each other. Many thanks to Mrs Bella, Becca Fraser and the Stu-Co for your hard work in organizing this event. The common testimony was that it was amazing and even life changing in so many ways. Following is a short video report from some of our students. Enjoy their take-aways from our weekend.
