We are gearing up for the second semester! Even though it still feels like October outside, Fish Club and High Hopes have some fun and meaningful activities set up for winter. First up is one of our favorites activities of the year, winter retreats. Each retreat is held at Cran Hill Ranch, in our favorite lodge, the stone house. There will be horseback riding, a hayride, and sledding. We will have to see if the weather brings us some snow or if we will we have to settle for mud sledding, which seems to be becoming an unfortunate tradition these past couple of years. Along with all of the fun and laughter will be a time of devotions, sharing and Bible Study where we take time to listen to God and each other. Fish Club’s winter retreat is January 15-17 and High Hopes is January 29-31. Please keep us in prayer as we hope for safety, fun, and engagement with God and each other.
Then, after the retreats, we look forward in excited anticipation to the next few months. On the docket are trips to Skyzone, service events with Pancakes R Us and the Crop Walk, and of course our regular get togethers where we play games, eat lots of snacks, and share in devotionals. For those of you with youth in Fish Club or High Hopes, expect to receive your new schedules in the mail soon!
