Due to COVID concerns across our Virginia State United Methodist Conference, the fall Eagle Eyrie youth retreat has been shifted to a one-day rally. The rally for 6th through12th graders will be on Saturday, December 4 from 10 am - 5 pm at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. It will include all of the activities typically involved on Saturday during the Eagle Eyrie retreat such as worship with live music, speakers, breakout sessions, service projects, and time spent with students and youth leaders from across the state.

We'll travel in the church vehicles to the rally. Afterwards, we'll take a dinner break and then head back to church for an overnight lock-in. Students have the option to attend both the rally and lock-in, or one or the other.

Here's a tentative schedule:

Saturday, December 4
7:00 am - Arrive at Virginia Beach United Methodist Church to depart for Randolph Macon College
10:00 am - 5:00 pm - Make It Matter Youth Rally at Randolph Macon College
Dinner Break
8:00 pm - Arrive back at church / Pick-up for those not attending the lock-in / Arrival for those attending the lock-in but not the rally

Sunday, December 5
Depart after breakfast - exact time TBD

Cost for those attending the rally is $20 per person. Dinner is not included in this cost - bring extra money for dinner. Lock-in only is free.
