Ohio Conference will hold a Youth Worker Retreat Oct. 15-17 at Camp Luz in Kidron. Glen Guyton, executive director of Mennonite Church USA, will be the resource speaker for this retreat.

The theme of this retreat is Equipped for the Journey: The who, what and how for youth leaders. Participants will be challenged to settle into who God is calling them to be as leaders, to allow discipleship to equip and call them to be mentors of others, and to take time to see God’s blessings during their journey. They will also enjoy times of worship, fellowship, team building and resourcing from other youth workers.

We strongly encourage your congregation to GIFT this retreat to your youth workers. The cost of the retreat is only $125 per person due to the generous underwriting of the Ohio Conference Ministry Development Team. If three people from your congregation register, the fourth will attend at no cost.
