Youth Leadership Planning Weekend to Prepare for Happening
Youth leadership is a key feature of the Happening program. The entire weekend is led “by youth, for youth” with adult supervision and guidance. This is the gathering where we plan the retreat. For questions, contact cpayouthcom@gmail.com
Happening #13
February 14-16
Camp Mount Luther
Happening is open to grades 9 – 12. You will have the opportunity to talk about God in your daily life with your peers, the people who will be experiencing the same event with you. Happening is truly an event designed with you and your faith in mind!
No matter who you are, where you come from, or what your favorite cereal happens to be, you are welcome with open arms.
