2007 High School Lenten Retreat
March 17-18, 2007

We met at Camp Milan, Milan, IL, which has been the sight for retreats and revivals for over 100 years, for an overnight silent retreat focusing on the sacrifice made for us by Christ on the Cross. The retreat talks focused on the Last Seven Words of Christ from the Cross, which were illustrated by clips from the recent film The Passion of the Christ. This was an opportunity for the young people to take some time to be still before their Lord.
