Students are organizing the fall retreat scheduled for November 11-13. The inspiration behind the theme of this retreat is Matthew 5:16 that encourages Christians to let their light shine. Students in grades seven through twelve may attend “Illuminate.” The retreat will take place on the JA campus with a community service activity off site. As with previous years, students will spend the night in host homes. Students are invited to take part and light up the world with God’s love.
