November
is just a few months away and the time for us to come together at the annual
Winter Retreat. We are hoping that you
along with your youth groups are planning for this event.
The
event will be held on November 8-10, 2013 (Friday evening to Sunday). This is a Field event and we hope to see
representation from the Southwest Native American District, Western Latin District,
Southwest Latin District, and possibly other districts. It is hopeful that we can continue this event
to keep the connection on the Southwest Field (formerly known as Southwest
Region). It is going to take all of us
to do our part in bringing the youth to this event. The weekend will include services with
special speaker, testimonies, praise and worship, games, and a whole lot of
fun.
The registration
fee for this year is $100 which will include four meals and lodging. Enclosed is a copy of the flyer with a
perforated application which needs to be filled out and returned by October 25, 2013. Please take the time with your youth group to
finish the applications before the deadline.
Your cooperation in returning filled out applications will help with the
lodging and registration process. Please
make payment with one church check for your group payable to SNAD-NYI and sent to Myron Paddock at HC63Box 297, Winslow, AZ 86047
Everyone
will need to bring their sleeping bag, personal hygiene, Bible, medications,
and other personal items. Sponsors
on-site during the weekend are a MUST from each church.
Communications
is a must so I will be contacting each local NYI president or pastor to keep updated
on the numbers from your church. Do not hesitate to contact me at the above
phone number or email if you have questions. You may also contact Becky
Pohawpatchoko at 505-923-0984 or beckymorgan56@hotmail.com.
In His Service,
Fern Pokagon,
Winter Retreat Director
