Operation Restoration Winter Retreat

First Lutheran Church in Barron is hosting a Winter Youth Retreat at Luther Park!
 
Our world needs mending and restoration. Scientifically, we know what we need to do. Culturally, there are many reasons why we have not done what needs to be done. But, faith-filled people can make a difference. Forgiveness is central to reconciliation, to mending our relationships with creation, with one another, and with God.
 
Join Pastor Ron, Luther Park Program Director Abby, and our fabulous team of parent volunteers February 27th and 28th at Luther Park in Chetek as we engage our youth in Operation Restoration: Mending God’s World.

​During this exciting two-day event kids will explore the theme “Forgiveness” in a Bible Camp setting.  This means interactive songs, games, Bible Stories, skits, worship, and a whole lot of fun.
 
This event is for ages 3rd Grade through 12th Grade.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.  Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us.
Ephesians 4:31-5:2a
