MISSOURI RIVER YOUTH
 |  |
Buy this, get that, be this way, act more like that person.
The world tells us one thing, the Bible something completely different. Teachers, coaches, friends, parents, brothers and sisters. It seems like everything we are exposed to in today's world is about trying to get us to be something, to act normal.
But what is normal?
When we look around we see people who are overworked, overstressed, exhausted and worn down. Normal friendships and relationships are strained at best, with people tiptoeing around trying not t offend. And when it comes to God most people say they believe, but few ever allow God and teachings of the Bible to impact their lives. Simply put, normal isn't working.
It's time for something different. Something WEIRD!
In Romans 12:2, God invites us to be transformed into something that looks different than the rest of the world. Join together with middle school students from around the Nebraska Conference for a weekend of discovering why God calls us to be WEIRD. This retreat will challenge you to consider what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ, encourage you to allow God to work in
your life, and rethink your definition of WEIRD.
