Youth Ministry
St James to host 30 Hour Famine youth retreat
by Zak Cornelissen
The St. James, Westwood youth group will host their second 30 Hour Famine youth retreat on March 19 – 21.
The retreat’s focus is to raise awareness and money to help the world’s hunger situation. For millions of children and youth across the globe eating once every 30 hours is a part of their everyday life, so in order to feel and understand what that is like, the retreat’s youth participants will fast for 30 hours themselves. Along with fasting the youth will learn about world hunger, host and serve a community dinner, participate in worship and bible study and take a trip to play laser tag and mini golf.
The retreat is open to all 7th – 12th graders across the diocese. There is no cost to participate in the retreat; we just ask that all youth planning on attending be willing to help raise money for WorldVision and its mission. If you’d like to donate to the retreat or have more questions concerning the program, please contact Zack Cornelissen at zcornelissen@yahoo.com or 513.680.1205.
