“BE” May Youth Weekend May 19-21,2012 $25

Plans are coming into place for the Annual Synod Youth Weekend to be held this year in Zion Presbyterian Church, Charlottetown, May 19-21,2012. Our theme exploration and small group time will look at practical ways that we can open ourselves to experience God. There will be lots of music and recreation too! Theme speaker will be Rev. Dr. Rick Horst, Moderator of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Rick has a great passion for youth and will have lots to offer! We are thrilled that David Pandy-Szekeres will be with us too. David is serving with the Reformed Church of Sub-Carpathian Ukraine (RCCU), a church of ethnic Hungarians in Ukraine. He will have lots of stories and challenges for us.

Registration Forms will be available in February. Registration Deadline is May 1st.
