2011 Easter Rally

In the Spring of 2011, a teen retreat will be hosted in the UK! The retreat, which is called the Easter Rally, will be held at the Purley-Chase retreat center near Birmingham, England and will run Sunday, April 17 - Thursday, April 21 (which is the week of spring break for many schools out here in the East). Many teens have expressed interest in attending and I hope we can get a big group to go. The tentative plan is to depart from the US and Canada on the afternoon of Friday, April 15, arrive in London early Saturday morning, tour London all day then take the train up to the retreat center Saturday evening. The Swedenborgian Church and the SCYL will be working hard to get funding to assist as many teens as possible from the U.S. and Canada to be able to go. But, we cannot afford to pay for everyone. Anyone interested should make sure that they have a passport that is up to date and should start thinking up creative ways to raise money. As it stands right now at the current ticket prices, we can afford to scholarship up to 6 teens that can raise $600 of their own money. Hopefully, airfare will drop and more teens can go for less money. So, contact me if you are interested and start fundraising now. Registration deadline is March 21. Let's work together and make this an exciting adventure for as many teens as possible!
