Pittsburgh Presbytery Senior High Retreat at Crestfield

February 29-March 2, 2008

"God, Are You Really There?"

Join us as we explore questions and doubts about our faith and come to understand that questions and doubts are a part of a growing, vibrant faith.  We will experience great  worship and music, drama, and study as we wrestle with what it means to be a Christian in today’s culture and schools.  Why bother?  What does it matter if I follow Christ?   And of course, there will be hay rides, the climbing wall, great music, campfires, hiking, games, and a lot of FUN. Come fellowship and grow with other youth from the Pittsburgh area.

Keynote Speaker:            Brian Wallace
