Dear Parents,

FALL RETREAT IS THIS COMING WEEKEND!!!!!!!

I am so excited and pumped up about this weekend and what your kids are going to experience. We have some really fun and exciting activities planned and some really good bible studies lined out for the weekend as well.

I honestly believe and have been praying that this weekend will change student’s lives! I am praying for big things for this weekend and I ask that you please join me in praying this as well. Pray that students will be receptive to what they hear and learn over the weekend. Pray that students will be able to grasp the idea of “NEXT” by looking to what the next step in their journey with Christ is. Pray that students will be able to make this step in their own lives if they have not already. And finally, pray that the FALL RETREAT is just the beginning to something bigger for Family Life youth and the city of Amarillo.

If you have not signed your kid up for the FALL RETREAT yet, don’t worry, ITS NOT TO LATE. You can sign up by Wednesday November 16th.
