Church of the Ascension Youth Ministry
"T.G.I.F." Today's God is Forever

The following are the thoughts, written by three of the youth from our parish
following this year's retreat.

I would like to thank the Parish for their support of our Camp Homewood weekend. I learned a lot about being a Christian teenager. There were a lot of friendships made with kids who feel the same way. We can support each other's choices. It was a great experience for me. There were a lot of great activities. I liked archery the best. We also had lots of group discussions around how Jesus is alive in our lives.
There was Christian rock music that we could relate to. We could dance to it. I just thought it was a special weekend. Thanks Again.

Attending the Quadra Island Retreat for a second time was a great adventure for both of us. We participated in rifelry, archery, sailing, floor hockey/basketball and in house games. We left Friday in hopes and wishes to have a great time, and we came back with smiles, a stronger faith and not to mention a lot of new friends. It was enthusiastic, fall of fun, the spiritual leaders taught us so much; we can't wait to go back next year. If it wasn't for Fr. Mike, The Knights of Columbus, The C.W.L., Our Youth Leaders and of course all of you parishioners this great experience would not have been possible. So from us and the rest of the Youth Ministry, THANK YOU! !
