This Summer, instead of the Bike Trip, CCE will be organizing a Sr. High Retreat at Calvary Chapel Crossroads Mission Camp just outside of Wenatchee. We will spend 4 days in close fellowship as we worship the Lord and listen to his voice in prayer, the Word, and songs of praise. The focus of the retreat will be participation in the divine nature and living godly lives as we grow in our knowledge of God and his love for us.
“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” - 2 Peter 1:3 NIV
One recurring struggle I have observed in the youth (and world for that matter) these past several months is being busy and overwhelmed by life. We all must learn to slow down, be refreshed, and wait on the Lord who answers the cries of his people. “I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.” - Lamentations 3:24-26 NIV
Instead of filling our schedule with endless activities and more busyness, we will wait quietly for God's present work of salvation (Titus 2:11-12) and delight in the friendships God has given us (Psalm 16:3).
All youth living west of the Cascades are required to be at Calvary Chapel Eastside by 9:45am, July 31, and seated in the sanctuary by 10:00am. We encourage parents/siblings to sit with them for our worship service, during which time participants will be called to the altar for prayer.
Registration is open to all high school students (including incoming freshmen and graduating seniors).
Cost: $110 per participant
