JUNIOR HIGH RETREAT!

On Friday November 23 we left Markham to embark on a weekend journey to Muskoka for our annual junior high retreat!

We had a ton of fun, engaged in great worship and were challenged by the speaker. It was a great time to continue to get connected with God, each other and ourselves.
