TEEN RETREAT A WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE – “CREED” ence Revival!
On October 22-24th, we were joined by 40 high school students and 10
young adult staff for our Autumn Teen Retreat. The retreat theme and
presentations focused on examining the different elements of our Creed.
Highlights of the weekend included a Cape May Point scavenger hunt that
was based on the Nicene creed and a prayer experience in which the teens
were anointed with healing oils. The teens and staff departed with a
renewed spirit and a group of new friends. Click the following link to
