Sr. High Youth Group — Overnight Retreat

Jan. 21 - 22, 2006 — Arlington MA

Is there Life the Day After Tomorrow?"

Guest speakers Darrell Holigan and Jess VanSteensburg, both in their mid-twenties, joined the senior high youth for an overnight in Arlington, Massachusetts.

The youth were asked to try and think where they might be, who they might be, ten years from now. We talked about school, parental, and societal expectations, and how these expectations might affect them now and in the future. They also shared some of their dreams, which was wonderful.

Our Biblical text was 1 Samuel 3:1-10 in which the youth Samuel is in the temple with the priest (mentor) Eli. God has to call Samuel several times before Samuel realizes, with the help of Eli, that the call is, in fact from God.
