REGISTRATION DUE IN 3 WEEKS!!!

Dear <<First Name>>,

You are invited to attend St. Matthew’s Youth Retreat Weekend: "Pursuit", taking place at Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat Centre on February 14-16, 2020. Most of us, myself included, never would have gone on retreat without being asked. That’s why I’m extending this personal invitation.

WHY GO ON A RETREAT?

 

1. Disruption of the Ordinary

Something unique happens when young people are taken out of their regular schedule and comfort zone. Often in the daily rhythm of our lives God gets pushed aside, but at a retreat our rhythms are intentionally created to connect with God.

2. Technology Disconnection

Increasingly, younger generations are more technologically connected and less connected interpersonally. To be in an environment where you have limited access to technology and unlimited access to community allows us to engage more deeply. We are forced to be present with each other, and acknowledge what we’re actually dealing with.

3. Shared Experience

Community can sometimes be an elusive thing for a teenager. Thoughts of belonging and bond can run through their minds. When young people spend a weekend together on the retreat it helps them to bond and grow closer. They’re able to bond through shared experience, and then reflect back on that time as they mature. Retreats are often rallying points for students. In community, they can remind each other what God did and said in that time, especially when life gets hard.

<<First Name>>, I want you to know that cost should never be a reason for not making this retreat. We offer bursaries and fundraising for you to attend. No matter the reason, we’ll find a way to make your attendance possible. Indicate your need when registering.

An off-site retreat is not something we will be doing every year so it is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you have any questions at all, please give me a call, text or email. I look forward to seeing you on retreat!
