AWAKENING

An EDGE Retreat on Jesus the Good Shepherd


November 15 & 16, 2024

Open to all middle school teens

$150 / $75 deposit to reserve spot.

John Newcombe Tennis Ranch, New Braunfels, TX

In a world of daily distractions competing for our attention, it can be challenging to distinguish Jesus’ voice from the many voices that tell us what to wear, what to listen to, what to watch, and even who to be. This retreat series will remind youth to follow Jesus the Good Shepherd by listening to His voice. Jesus’ voice is one of love, compassion, and peace. He offers us love and is the only one who can truly satisfy the human heart. When we hear the Good Shepherd’s voice, we can follow Him and know how to take the right action.

“Awakening” inspires middle school youth to shift from attempting to be the center of their own story to allowing Jesus to be their leader and guide. We need the Good Shepherd to guide us as our lives take different twists and turns. This retreat will not only allow youth to embrace Jesus as their shepherd, but also their local Church community, and recognize the value of belonging to God’s flock.
