This meeting is a result of the small lecture meeting that Daniel Bosch, Italian pastor, conducted last summer. The Great Lakes District announces a Discovery Weekend near Columbus on President's Day weekend, Feb. 16 to 18. The weekend, titled Mission Possible, has the theme, Discover Your Mission. Participants will be helped in discovering their God-given mission in life with an emphasis on their unique ministry in Christ's name in and through their home congregation. Activities will include youth-oriented praise and worship provided by youth bands as well as devotional times, workshops and messages from several young adult youth leaders and from Ted Johnston, district superintendent and Summer Educational Program chaplain.
Housing is in heated dorms with bunk beds.
The event begins Friday evening, Feb. 16, and ends after lunch on Sunday. The SEP Office announced youth district weekends in the following locations. They spent time with the small group in Honiara as well as visiting the island of Ranongga, where we have a larger and growing congregation. This year the festival began with some United Methodist people from a neighboring village joining in. A number of them expressed appreciation for the reconciliation that was taking place between the villages.
