Hey Middle and High School Illinois Conference Youth -- Did you enjoy our Mid Winter Retreat?
(pictures are coming soon!)
It's the 50th anniversary of the United Church of Christ -- and we're celebrating!
We explored the 2007 General Synod Theme:
We celebrated and shined our lights together, learning who we are and what it means to be a part of the UNITED CHURCH of Christ.
Here are the Speakers we heard:
Temous Newberne -- member of St. Peter United Church of Christ, Lake Zurich
Sarah Lohrbach -- member of St. John United Church of Christ, Kankakee
Keith Scott -- member of Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago
We had fun, met new friends and spent time talking about the celebration!
(Oh yeah – we also had a campfire, sang fun songs, played fun games and CELEBRATEd worship together!)
Pictures are coming soon!
"Youth are the heart of the denomination. Without a heart the body cannot exist." Rev. Da Vita McCalister -- Minister for Youth and Young Adults -- United Church of Christ
