WINTER RETREAT
FEBRUARY 13-15,
2015
A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR BEN
A huge part of the MY in MYNKMB has been walking with our students as they build ownership of
their spiritual lives as preteens and young teenagers. Youth retreats have always been some of my
favourite times of connecting with students as we walk together in this journey.
We will be going to Gimli Bible Camp from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon. There are a
variety of activities for the students, both outdoors and indoors, along with an appropriate
amount of free time. We will have scheduled sessions where we get into the Bible and worship
together. Our adult small group leaders stay in the cabins with the students in their small groups
offering guidance throughout the entire weekend. Our goal for this retreat as for all events is to
create moments that help students in grades 6-8 grow in their knowledge of Christ while also
building fun memories that we hope will last a lifetime. Be ready to hear some great stories when
your kids get back home! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time. I
am excited for this weekend and value your prayers as we prepare! - Pastor Ben Harapiak
