PHAT Fall Retreat 2007

During a November weekend, 108 young people in 7th-12th grade and their adult leaders traveled to Marmon Valley Farm near Mad River Mountain for the annual PHAT Fall retreat 2007!  The group experienced a Trail Ride through the hills on horseback, Leadership Challenge Course, Horse Arena Football, a real live "Hoe Down" Square Dance, Hay Ride, Bonfire and various Work Projects throughout the camp.  With the theme "Relentless" the group shared in quiet times with God, worship, study and small group discussion, exploring what it means to be relentless in our relationship with the Lord and in life. 

In youth ministry we work hard, play hard, study hard and worship hard!
