Singles Retreat
August 17 - 18, 2012
  • General: Would you enjoy spending time with other single's for a change? Do you need a break from work, or a refreshing weekend before heading back to the craziness of college life? If so, come to SHCM for their first ever singles retreat. This retreat is NOT designed to be a dating service, but rather an opportunity for single young people to come together for a great time of fun, fellowship and spiritual encouragement. Friday evening will include a snack, rally, and game time. Saturday will include two preaching/teaching sessions, three meals, and several group games. During the free times, you can enjoy the lake with the canoes, kayaks, watermat, and dock. In addition, many of the SHCM events will be open on Saturday including the Bungee Run, Obstacle Course, Spaceball, slackline, Blamzookas and game tables. Go ahead and sign up for this retreat. It could be a blessing.
