M28: Youth Retreat
M28 is a Christian Retreat for middle and high school students. It is held in beautiful Lake Junaluska, NC, Sunday, June 28 through Wednesday, July 1st. Taking its name from Matthew 28:18-20, it is focused on proclaiming the Gospel unashamedly to every student and adult to foster worship of God in Jesus Christ and make disciples. The purpose for us attending camps and retreats is to allow students to encounter Jesus, strengthen Christian community, grow in their faith and love of Jesus, and have fun! Each day there will be Christ centered worship, engaging teaching from camp speakers, and time spent in D-groups with students from other churches both in the mornings and evenings. Plus, plenty of free time to enjoy fellowship, and engage in activities on and off campus.
Contact Noah Barfield at noah@piercechapel.com for more information and registration details.
