And That's a Wrap! Middle School Retreat 2026
And That's a Wrap! Middle School Retreat 2026
Last Friday, our middle school students enjoyed their annual retreat at Camp Gideon. The weather was great, and the students participated in a variety of outdoor recreation activities. Cornerstone alum Brooks Beber ('24), led our worship gatherings, and middle school pastor Colby Chester from First Baptist Woodstock shared from God's Word.
Thank you for praying for this event. It was a great success. Click here to see a few photos!
