It is now possible for the leader to register their entire group. If you have questions or difficulty, please contact the presbytery office.
This retreat is for middle school and high school students and their adult sponsors.
Due to the large numbers participating in presbytery youth programs, and due to the volunteer nature of the workers, the Youth Council appreciates everyone's efforts to register early. Knowing the numbers is essential for providing sleeping space, food, and t-shirts. Space may be limited--don't delay!
This retreat is made possible by mission gifts to Heartland Presbytery, and the work of the members of the youth council.
Youth include Abby, First, Lee's Summit; Ben and Samantha, John Knox Kirk, Kansas City; Katie, Clinton; Emma, Butler; Luke and Brooke, Heritage, Olathe; Ian and Emily, Pine Ridge, Kansas City; Connor, New Horizon, Odessa. (Up to two youth from your church could be included here, gaining leadership skills and growing their faith. Watch the Heartland Connection for information on the next entry point, or speak to one of the adult advisors.)
Adults include Jason Carle, Overland Park; Paula Isgrig, New Horizon, Odessa; Mari Lyn Jones, Butler; Clare Lozano, Heritage, Olathe; Mark Moon, Faith, Raytown; and Jennifer Scheneman, Pine Ridge. Malinda Spencer, staff, Heartland Presbytery.
