Winter
Retreat at Camp Wrightwood |
|
|
|

Our theme this year will
be "Totally Twisted Priorities!"
We will reconsider our own life priorites as we study what the book
of Ecclesiastes has to say about what's really important in life.
This winter we are returning to Camp
Wrightwood, a camp run by the United Methodist Church, tucked
away in the small town of Wrightwood in the San Gabriel Mountains.
A $100 registration fee
includes transportation, meals at camp, and lodging (in cabins).
Please bring additional money with you for dinner on the way up.
Our tradition is to stop and In-N-Out Burger. You
must complete and return the permission
slip and the health/medical
form with your payment (check payable to RUMC) no later than
Sunday January 4, 2009.

Youth
Alive |
|
|
|
| |
|
Once again, the Senior
High youth of the United Methodist Church are gathering over Presidents'
Weekend to discover how they can be disciples of Jesus Christ.
This amazing retreat at
the Riverside Convention Center is called "Youth Alive."
The 2009 theme is "Diakonos:
How May I Serve You?" Diakonos is a Greek word used
in the New Testament that means "service." The
event will have all of the great things you've come to expect: amazing
music (worship bands), challenging workshops and Bible studies,
inspiring worship and speakers, and great friends/good times. More
information can be found in this
brochure.
Youth must currently
be enrolled in grades 9 through 12. The cost ranges from $215 for
four people per room to $250 for two people per room, which includes
all lodging for two nights and some meals. Registrations
are due in the RUMC church office by December
15. Please let Lynn know if you plan to attend or have any
questions. Don't miss out!
