June 20, 2026 | Youth Fellowship

A table full of food, hearts full of gratitude, and memories that will last a lifetime. 🍽️💗

This fellowship was filled with laughter, exciting games, meaningful conversations, and genuine connections. Beyond sharing a meal, we shared moments that strengthened our faith, deepened our friendships, and reminded us of the joy of being united as one family in Christ.

“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together.”
— Hebrews 10:24-25

Thankful for every smile, every bond, and every blessing shared. To God be all the glory! 🙌✨

PART V | THE FINALE

The games have ended.
The awards have been given.
The certificates have been received.
The retreat has come to a close.

Yet the greatest reward was never found on a stage.

It was found in every lesson learned.
Every prayer offered.
Every heart touched by God’s presence.

Congratulations to all participants, awardees, leaders, volunteers, and everyone who became part of this journey.

As we leave this place, may we carry more than memories.

May we carry a renewed passion for God.

The retreat has ended.
The mission continues.

Rekindled by His Presence☝🏻🔥

PART IV | THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN❤️‍🔥

Not every lesson is learned from a stage.

Some are learned around a bonfire.

Some are found in shared meals, late-night conversations, laughter with friends, and moments spent simply enjoying each other’s company.

As the fire burned, stories were shared, bonds were strengthened, and hearts grew closer, not only to one another, but also to God.

The night ended, but a new morning brought another reminder through devotion: every day is another opportunity to seek Him.

From the bonfire to the breakfast table.
From devotion to swimming.
From games to genuine fellowship.

God was present in every moment.

Because sometimes the memories that stay with us the longest are the simple moments shared with people who encourage us in our faith.

PART III | THE MESSAGE❤️‍🩹

𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙩 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙧𝙮?

You pray, but it feels like your prayers do not reach heaven.
You worship, but your heart feels distant.
You read God’s Word, but nothing seems to move you.

Through Psalm 42, Pastor Manny Gomez reminded us that 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙙𝙧𝙮𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 is not always a sign that God is far away.

Sometimes God allows 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 because He wants to 𝙧𝙚𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 within us.🫂

In a generation filled with distraction over devotion, noise instead of stillness, and activity rather than intimacy, God is calling His people back to His presence.

Because success without God still leaves the soul empty.

Rekindling begins with a thirst for God.

PART II | THE FELLOWSHIP✨
𝙍𝙚𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙚: ”𝙄𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚”

Some of the best moments are found in the people God places around us.

Through every game, every activity, every conversation, and every shared laugh, bonds were formed and friendships grew stronger.

What makes these moments special is not simply the fun we had, but the reminder that we were never meant to walk our faith journey alone.

Together we learned.
Together we grew.
Together we pursued God.

PART I | THE BEGINNING🔥

Every journey starts with a single step.

What began as a gathering soon became an opportunity to pause, reflect, and seek God together.

For the next few days, hearts would be challenged, faith would be strengthened, and lives would be reminded of what truly matters.

Not just another event.
Not just another retreat.

But a chance to draw near to the One who never stops calling us closer.

The journey begins.
