Young Adult Retreat
9:00am-1:00pm
Plymouth
Cost: Flexible
Theme: You are enough.
A weekend of fellowship, healing, and spiritual growth for young adults will be Saturday, Feb. 9 at 9 a.m. to Sunday at 1 p.m. This year’s retreat is centered on the phrase “You are enough.” As young adults, we can often find ourselves distracted by our busy lives and feel the pressure of never-ending expectations that leave us wondering how we will ever measure up. Can you relate? Come step away from the craziness of life to rediscover the truth of who you are, that you have a God who loves you just as you are, and that He in all His glory is enough for you.
Enjoy relevant talks, active breakout sessions, inspiring music, Confession, Mass, Adoration, healing prayer, and time to relax and socialize. Includes snacks, lunch and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday.
Cost: Flexible
