One of the highlights of our Youth Group is our annual weekend retreat at Lambton Center on the shore of Lake Huron.  We've been taking our teens there for 7 years, and every year is a fun adventure.  Our Youth Group leaders help chaperone at these retreats.

We play games, watch movies and learn about our faith through Bible study and discussion sessions.  On Sunday morning we gather at the beach and share communion during our worship service.

The time away is refreshing, and is a fun way to bond as friends and followers of Jesus Christ.

We went down to watch the sunset on Saturday night.  It was one of the most memorable moments of the whole retreat.  Ministry is made for times like this!

The sunset was stunningly beautiful!!!
