Upcoming Youth Overnight Retreat

Announcing our "Tent-In"

Summer is over and camping is so much fun!  The Sacred Space Youth group is having a 'Tent-In' (in lieu of a lock-in).  The event is an opportunity to learn to share God's love and highlights the challenges and needs of the Salem area homeless population, many of whom are living in tents.

The Event will be held in the backyard of the Bonn family on Friday evening September 18 and Saturday morning September 19, 2009.  Youth must pre-register to attend.  A parental consent form must be signed for all youth.  The Tent-In will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday and end at noon on Saturday.

Youth are asked to bring:  a sleeping bag, lawn chair, and wet weather gear (including a change of layers in the event of inclement weather).  A little rain will not stop the event, but a deluge might.  

Sign up to bring a tent (two person or family size) and help bring food for the event.  
Call Robyn Morrison at (503) 983-0205 for more information or a registration form and parental consent form.  


There is room for two more volunteer parents to supervise the event.
