A weekend just for youth leaders
Join us October 10-12 at St. Croix Lutheran High School in West St. Paul, MN for a weekend that we hope will
leave you feeling encouraged, better equipped, and furthered empowered to continue to impact lives for Jesus.
The 3E Youth Leaders Retreat is a weekend sponsored by the MN District Commission on Youth Discipleship
designed as a time in which WELS youth workers from around the nation can come together and learn, network,
and have a blast with each other as they grow together in the Word and the latest youth ministry paradigms.

Working with young people is not always easy. Sometimes it is downright frustrating.
That's why we made the 3E Youth Leaders Retreat.
Our goal is to:
Encourage:
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you.
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
-1 Corinthians 15:58
We hope that the 3E weekend will be one of encouragement. You will spend time in the Word, meet and network with
other WELS youth leaders, and come away with a host of new ideas. It really is going to be a great weekend!
Empower:
Hebrews 4:12 tells us that God's Word is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.
That is such an amazing assurance.
You as a youth leader, you are a vessel that God is using to bring His Living Water to the youth of your church.
What an awesome responsibility!
It is our hope and prayer that your time at 3E will leave you assured that you are indeed
capable of sharing His Good News with your youth group.
Equip:
The wheel exists. We will not try to reinvent it.
3E 2014 will take resources that are highly respected in the greater youth ministry world,
break them down, and present them in a way that is applicable to your ministry context.
Is everything going to work at your church?
Probably not.
But we hope that by going through these books we can begin to see that all youth ministries are different
and you do indeed have all the tools you need to impact your congregation's young people.
