Cost… Anything with value has a cost associated with it. This weekend we will take a look at what it costs to follow Jesus, and take a look at what it looks like to let him shape the way we look at ourselves, struggle and serving him. Come, enjoy a weekend away at an awesome retreat centre where we will worship, play, climb ropes, eat, stay up late, pray, laugh, learn and grow together.
Some Question You May Have … When are we leaving? We will be meeting from the church at 5:30 PM on Friday.
When are we returning home? We will be leaving from Cedar Glen around 1:30 PM, Sunday, and hope to be back at the church between 3:00 – 4:00 PM
What if my parents need to contact me? You can use cell number of your Youth Pastor (listed on back panel) or you can call the YMCA Cedar Glen office at (905) 859-9622 .
