You might be wondering: What in the world is an EDLYA retreat and why would I ever want to come to one!!??? Well, wonder no longer!
An EDLYA retreat is a weekend long get-together full of faith, fun and fellowship! There are four retreats every year, each held in varying locations across our wide and beautiful district. We get together on Friday, generally have a Bible study on Saturday and go to church on Sunday and spend the rest of the time visiting and doing all sorts of fun activities!
Fun activities found at an EDLYA retreat include (but is not limited to): hanging out with new and old friends, eating delicious food, singing songs, staying up all night, bible studies, singing MORE songs, playing get-to-know-each-other games, sleeping on the cold hard floor, skating, swimming, sports, board games, AND MORE!
But wait! You might be exclaiming to yourself at this very moment. I would love to come to a retreat, but WHAT SHOULD I BRING???!!
