Late registration runs until February 28 and is TBD. \nIn addition to the retreat\, we will celebrate all of the students who have made a personal commitment to living with integrity in the Worship Services on Sunday\, April 18.  We have been working together for the last two years to get to this point and we are excited to celebrate this Milestone with you! \nSharing the experience of Survivor with your student will be something that you don’t want to miss.
