Jr. High Winter Retreat at Camp Patmos 

Bring your church's Jr. High youth to Camp Patmos January 28 - 30 for the Jr. High Winter Retreat.  In the community of retreat, we will have fun playing games, enjoying the winter outdoors, singing, listening to encouraging talks, studying God’s word, as well as sharing what we are learning in small groups.  The theme of the retreat is "Standing on Solid Ground."  In Luke 6:47 Jesus tells us that anyone who hears the Word of God and puts it into practice is like a wise man who built his house on solid ground. No matter what storms came upon him, his house stood firm because it was on solid ground. This retreat designed to help 6th—8th graders understand the importance of putting the Word of God into practice in daily life. Standing on solid ground is the only way we will be able to weather the storms life brings. 

At Camp Patmos, you will find rustic cabins, acres of forest, and a pleasant lake with a beautiful beach. Camp Patmos is located three miles north of Hackensack, Minnesota, on Stony Lake.
Camp Patmos provides an inspiring setting for an encounter with Jesus.

J.U.M.P.
Imagine this….You feel bass thumping your chest loudly as hip hop music rattles in your ear. You walk closer to the church and say to yourself, “this can’t be”. As you approach the sanctuary, you see a few hundred teens, as diverse as they are engaged, all shouting out lyrics and getting “crunk for Christ”. Some nod their head while their pants sag lower than the church attendance at many of their home congregations. Their do-rags are covering their crooked hats while they “C-Walk” (Christ Walk). A DJ spins records atop a pulpit where you would imagine a stiff old white pastor once stood. This is not your grandmother’s worship service; this is JUMP (Joint Urban Ministries in Praise)......more
