Advent: from the Latin adventus meaning "coming." It's that time of year when we light candles on a wreath and count down the days and weeks until Christmas. Instead of just counting, this time can be used as a way of preparing and growing spiritually.
To help with this, our Retreat Ministry Team is offering the "Turn to Me: Advent Retreat." A day-long retreat for middle school youth groups or classes that offers participants an opportunity to see what God is inviting them to. Using the example of Mary’s “yes” to the angel Gabriel, participants will explore what they’re saying yes to and what it means to turn to God.
