Fall Overnight Retreat!

Oct. 11 & 12

Svendenbourg Center in Almont, MI

Plunge into the dramatic fall countryside and get away from the routine. Young adults from the area will gather to learn about the "links" they have in their lives as well as some ways to enhance their relationships. 3 meals and overnight lodging is included for $40. (There is an option of coming up Friday evening enjoying a bonfire and sleeping over...for an additional $5. (NO KIDDING))

You can count on bonfires, lively music, time to figure out a bit more about yourself, practical information for developing healthy relationships and some pretty tremendous prayer opportunities. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THE TIME YOU SPEND THIS WEEKEND.

Rides to Almont will be available.

Eucharist Adoration: Every Wednesday evening at 9 PM, the campus ministry at UM-Dearborn holds a very prayerful Eucharist Adoration that combines contemporary music, scripture readings, and opportunities for quiet prayer. A group of students from Schoolcraft attends this prayer opportunity on the last Wednesday evening of each month. We meet at 8 PM in the Student Activities Office area and drive over to the campus ministry. This prayer gathering is designed entirely for young adults. Let Sally McCuen, the campus minister, know if you plan to go with us...on Wednesday, Sept 24.
