Registration for the retreat is just $67CAD per person, and that includes overnight accommodations and meals at the church. This retreat is geared for youth from grades 6-12. Rev. William Cwrila will be teaching the youth on 21st Century Challenges To a 1st Century Faith The 21st century poses challenges to the Christian faith as never before. Sometimes these challenges can cause the faithful to stumble and doubt, especially when you are leaving home and congregation and setting out on your own. What does a first century religion like Christianity have to do with 21st century life? Has scientific method replaced religious faith? Does the existence of suffering and evil prove that God doesn’t exist? What is truth? Is there an absolute truth or only relative truths? How do we know what we know? This retreat will pose hard questions and deliver solid, Christ-centered, biblical responses for a confident faith in uncertain times. Bring your questions and doubts and let’s talk about them. If you have anyone from your church who’d be interested in attending, we’d love to have you all there.

The program will consist of the Official Dedication and Ribbon Cutting Service, greetings from dignitaries, and BBQ supper. In 2011 Camp Lutherland was impacted by a spring flood which severely damaged the kitchen/dining hall rendering it unusable then, and uninsurable ever since. Since then the Board has worked feverishly in planning and raising funds for a new dining hall. In the fall of 2016, enough funds were available to start the project. Now, in 2018 we are pleased to open the new hall and kitchen which will help us to provide a quality facility for decades to come.
