Fall Retreat Oct. 17-19
Winter Retreat Feb. 27-March 1

John 14:19b

Because I live, you also will live.

What does it mean to be resurrected? What will heaven be like? How does our expectation of the resurrection affect how we live our lives today?

On the night of His betrayal, Jesus promised His disciples, "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live." The hours that followed led to the cross where He was crucified for the sins of the world. Three days later, he arose from the grave, victorious over sin and death, having purchased salvation for all believers. Because of Jesus' resurrection, we will rise again to eternal life.

Pastor Kory Janneke of St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Conway will address some common misconceptions about the resurrection and life after death, exploring what the Word of God reveals.

Pastor Janneke, father of seven, is the primary Linkt retreat speaker for the 2025-2026 school year. Other youth leaders will take part in morning devotions and campfires.

Youth retreats for congregations of the Mid-South District LC-MS

Linkt youth retreats began in February 2015 to link youth from congregations of the Mid-South District of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and to proclaim the good news that Jesus Christ came to seek and save the lost. Since the first Linkt, more than 1,300 youth and adult leaders have come together for games, hikes, service projects, meals, campfires, worship, music and fellowship — to the glory of God.

Junior high Linkt retreats are held in the fall, senior high in winter.

Please check back on this page or your LCMS church bulletin for details on the Linkt retreats for the 2025-2026 academic year.
