Theme: In Rhythm!

In music, dancing, and sports, it’s essential to be in rhythm to be successful. But are we living our whole lives in a kind of rhythm that makes us whole, well, and joyful?

Retreat guest speaker: Uli Widmaier, Congregation Etz Chaim
Topic: Sabbath. What is it? Why is it necessary? How do we do it? Where can we find it?


Why Retreat Together?

As United Methodists, we believe that connectionalism extends to every age group, including our young people. Through our connection, we want to create a supportive and nurturing environment where youth and youth leaders can connect, grow, and serve together.
