All congregants are invited to join us in the Education Building on August 16, 2026, right after the Service. As you enter the building, you will be given a passport which is to be stamped at each Sunday School Classroom. This will give you the opportunity to learn more about each classroom and what spiritual lessons, along with related crafts, are presented in that room. After all of the spaces on the passport are stamped, the participant will go to Wallet Hall and turn in the passport for a free meal. During the meal, various YFM leaders will talk about our youth programs.

“The Light in the Darkness”

Dr. Jill Carroll

Sometimes the darkness is so dark, we struggle to see the light. Alternatively, sometimes we are so attuned to the light we fail to see the darkness around us that needs attention. This talk will explore the message of various wisdom traditions of the world that teach us that both are real, and we must find a way to hold the tension between them to walk the true path.

Parents: Please sign your kids in at their classrooms, and then take them to Wallet Hall for Pre-session activities from 10:30 – 11:00.

“The Narrow Gate”

Dr. Jill Carroll

Scripture speaks of the true way being narrow and not easy to follow. What does this mean for us today? What is required to pass through the narrow gate? What even IS the narrow gate? In this talk, we will discover the nature of transformation and what it requires of us.

Parents: Please sign your kids in at their classrooms, and then take them to Wallet Hall for Pre-session activities from 10:30 – 11:00.

Optional excursions include witnessing the magical moments of baby sea turtles hatching and making their way to the sea and participating in an authentic Costa Rican pottery making workshop.

Discover Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity on guided rainforest walks and immerse yourself in local culture by learning to make tortillas with a Costa Rican grandmother. Choose your adventure: zip-line through the jungle canopy or float peacefully down the Peñas Blancas River.

Jungle Magic & Relaxation: Stroll among the treetops on the Mistico Hanging Bridges and then melt into the soothing waters of Ecotermales Natural Hot Springs, surrounded by nature. Spend your final days exploring, relaxing, or joining optional activities before gathering for a celebration dinner and a guided night walk in the rainforest.
