On Friday after outreach, we will be going to the Wenatchee iFiber Ice Arena to do group ice skating. Admission as well as ice skate rentals will be free if you register for the entire weekend. The ice rink is located at 1300 Walla Walla Ave, Wenatchee, WA 98801.
Location
The retreat will be at Valley View Seventh-Day Adventist Church on 1201 10th St NE, East Wenatchee, WA 98802
Outreach
Friday we will be working with Lighthouse Christian Ministries, a ministry in Wenatchee dedicated to providing food, shelter, counseling, community, teaching, and more to anyone who needs it. If you are able to join the painting crew, be prepared to get dirty! The rest of us will be sorting and stocking food, cleaning, and more. Everyone, please bring clothes you don't mind getting dirty, as well as closed toe shoes!
Sabbath we will be going to Senior living facilities and singing. So bring your singing voice, ukulele, guitar or other favorite instrument on Sabbath to share with our Seniors who will appreciate it more that you know! If you have a special music item or short devotional thought you'd like to share, bring it!

Meetings
Music Opportunity
At our retreats, we make sure that everyone has a chance to be involved in music. If you would like to be involved in the choir, special music, meeting pianist, or song leader, please visit our get involved page. You are also welcome to play your instruments during the meetings, as well as join in a special time on Friday evening to sing together around the piano.
Volunteer Opportunity
One of the unique parts of AYM is the youth involvement in meetings. During the weekend, we encourage any youth who would like to participate in song service, scripture, or prayer, to sign up to be a part of the morning and evening meetings. You will also be blessed through talks during the meetings by various young people who are on fire for God.
