Our Youth Group (BLAST) is ready to take off into their Midwinter Advance.\u00a0 What’s the Midwinter Advance?\u00a0 First of all, it is probably more commonly known as a “retreat,” but we\u00a0 always want to look forward so we’ve latched on to the now cliche term “Advance” instead of “Retreat.”\u00a0 The Advance will be held at America’s\u00a0Keswick<\/a><\/span> in Whiting, NJ during the weekend of January 13-15.<\/p>\n

In preparation for this weekend, our youth have been raising money to offset the cost (November’s Krispy Kream donut fundraiser was a big hit).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But what is the MWA???<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Mid-Winter Advance is a\u00a0 special weekend directed at teens and young adults which gives them a chance to focus on their relationship with Christ and to build on it.\u00a0 The weekend offers studies, workshops, and fellowship.\u00a0 It’s a chance to learn, reflect, and make friends.<\/p>\n

Registration for this weekend is so high that they have to offer 5 different weekends.\u00a0 We’re going on Weekend #1.\u00a0 To learn more about the MWA, check out their website: http:\/\/www.midwinteradvance.com\/<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n
