This December, our high school students are invited to a weekend retreat at New Life Ranch in Colcord, Oklahoma. It will be a three-day, two-night opportunity to step away from daily routines and re-center around what matters most—friendship, rest, worship, and spiritual formation.
We’re also excited to be participating in this retreat alongside other Anglican churches from our diocese, Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO). Over 100 students from across the region will gather together for shared teaching, games, and worship. It’s a beautiful picture of the wider church our students are a part of—a church that is sacramental, Spirit-led, and rooted in mission.
We participated in a retreat like this with our middle schoolers, but have not yet with our high schoolers! We are looking forward to developing new friendships and connection among our students!
