Young Adult Retreat – UNAFRAID: Out of the Upper Room – May 22-24
Email: zhaney@hbgdiocese.org
The Diocese of Harrisburg will be hosting its annual Young Adult Retreat on May 22-24 at the Christian Retreat Center in East Waterford, PA. All adults ages 18-39 are welcome to attend. Please distribute/post the attached flyer, insert the attached bulletin ad, and/or include the following text in your bulletins.
Young adults ages 18-39, married or single, are invited to the annual Diocesan Young Adult Retreat, May 22-24. This year’s retreat is entitled Unafraid: Out of the Upper Room.
God calls us to go out into the world, but that is not as easy as it sounds. The world can be difficult and often frightening. No one understood that better than the apostles as they hid in the Upper Room leading up to Pentecost. Through the Holy Spirit, HIS power and encouragement turned the apostles from a fearful, hidden group of outcasts to those boldly preaching in the streets to everyone they encountered. Come join us for a weekend (which just so happens to take place during Pentecost) where we will discover how to welcome the Holy Spirit into our lives and work with Him so that we can move out of our own Upper Rooms and accomplish the mission God has for each of us!
The retreat will include Mass, prayer, Confession, teachings, small groups, fellowship, and fun! The cost includes all retreat activities, three meals on Saturday, Sunday Brunch, and lodging. Find full details at https://www.hbgdiocese.org/event/unafraid-out-of-the-upper-room-young-adult-retreat/
