Today, can the faith of a Christian youth relate to the many areas in which a person lives? Can youth be part of God's plan to renew the world? Aventura is simply a method that attempts to show the reality of God's love. It is a time of togetherness and one-on-one sharing of new ideas and concepts presented under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and using Christian leaders. Aventura is an interdenominational weekend for young people in high school (aged 14 - 20). FORMAT OF AVENTURA 'Aventura' is the Spanish word for adventure. During the adventure from Friday night to Sunday evening, those attending will participate in a very special living experience. There will be new adventures as friendships are formed, new horizons of living are explored; and a new appreciation of the reality of Christ's love is seen. Aventura is centered on a series of short talks given by clergy and adult and youth lay people, who have volunteered their time during weeks of preparation, working and praying together for the weekend adventure. The talks present the basic themes of Christian life and its application to daily living. There are also times for worship, singing, fellowship and celebration of Holy Communion. Aventura is a time of joy and Christian fellowship as teens learn about the adventure with Christ. |
