Back to School Retreat

Use this retreat to get away with your group at the beginning of the school year. We recommend doing the retreat at an off-site facility like one of the Lutheran camps. The PDF includes activities, icebreakers, devotions, and Bible studies. It’s a great way to help youth get to know each other and to set the tone for a new school year!

This four-part study explores the importance of listening to God by examining Old Testament people who struggled to listen and the resulting impact.

They will also learn how God’s plan of salvation endured despite His people failing to listen, and that there is forgiveness and hope found only in Jesus when we do fail.
