Fall Convention 2011!

Posted Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Come join us October 21-23 2011 for a weekend of friends and fellowship at Pilgrim Lodge! This is a convention/retreat for all high school youth (grades 9-12) affiliated in some way with a church in the Maine Conference. It’s a time to get together, enjoy each other’s company and discuss issues which are meaningful to us. Attendees do not need to be a member of a church to come. Bring a friend!

If your church is not sending at least 1 youth delegate, please ask your pastor or church council why that is. It is important that there be representation from all over the state! Tell your youth group too!
