Zip-line, here we come!
Coming of Age youth and mentors will be working hard at their weekend retreat, May 15-17. But adventure will not be left out. On Saturday, the whole group will trek out to Bryce Resort for a ride on their zip-line.
We believe that it is our mission as adults in our church community to help Coming of Age youth:
• Assume responsibility for their own physical, mental, and spiritual being; • Gain a sense of self-confidence and realize that their feelings are valid and that their opinions matter; • Expand their vision of the world by allowing them to encounter differing views, cultures, and life experiences; • Understand they have an important role in their church, local, and world communities; • Develop a personal value system; and • Realize they are completely and non-judgmentally accepted in our church community, and that it is their sanctuary.
This program has been developed as an attempt to provide these things to our youth and to mark their passage out of childhood.
