High School Youth Retreat
​August 6-8

High School Youth are invited to a Back-to-School Kick Off Retreat at the Carol Joy Holling Center in Ashland, NE on Friday night, August 6 through Sunday noon, August 8.  

We will be participating virtually in the MennoCon21 MC USA Convention - we will watch worship, participate in the denominational seminars in addition to participating in the activities offered by the retreat center: lake activities, swimming pool, campfire and more!

We will be staying in their brand new retreat center (see above) with hotel style rooms and home cooked meals.  We will hang out with other Mennonite youth from Milford.  The church has agreed to fund this retreat for you at a $250 value.

We will plan to leave at 7 pm from the Bethesda Mennonite Church parking lot Friday, August 6.  Please be sure to have the two youth forms (BMC Youth form and BMC Trip Permission Form) filled out prior to Thursday, August 5 - links to the forms are below.
