What happens at a Teens Encounter Christ weekend retreat?
You hear youth, pastors, and adults share ways to live faithfully and keep a close relationship with Christ. You participate in daily worship and communion. You have opportunities to learn more about yourself and to examine your relationship with Christ. You join a Christian community as you participate in small discussion groups. You enjoy the entire group at meals, during recreation, and in fun activities. You learn how to share your faith with others more effectively. You sing lots of great songs! (If you have been to a synod youth event or ever heard “Lost and Found”, we’re sure you will know at least some of them.) You get to know other Christian youth, mostly Lutheran, from Eastern NC, make great friends, and find a supportive Christian community. How long is a Teens Encounter Christ weekend retreat? Three days, with each day having its own theme grounded in Lutheran theology: Die Day – As Christ died for us, so we need to die to ourselves through confession and forgiveness. Rise
