Youth Worker Sabbath 2013 Provides a 3-Day Retreat for CTC Youth Workers
by Leanne Johnston*After a long, stressful, and busy summer, August is a great time to reconnect, relax, and make new friends! Join other youth workers from around the Central Texas Conference for a 2-night retreat at the beautiful Still Water Lodge.
We will borrow a concept and each participant will be invited to host a breakout session on their own chosen topic - a question, a success to share, or a problem to solve. Each breakout session will have different topics to choose from - you can pick and choose based on what you need to learn from others or what you have to share.
Youth workers will have the opportunity to visit with those working in their local areas to plan events and gatherings throughout the year. The goal is to plan one youth workers event per month for each of the districts in the Central Texas Conference.
