Offer not valid for an adult entree. After the dance, walk over to Red Robin to enjoy a meal with your daughter(s)

As we have fun hanging out with each other we’ll talk about how, though the world tries to convince us of something different, God desires to be our “Refuge.” As we deal with life’s questions that can come at us, he wants us to know we can find comfort in his truth and learn to share it with love and compassion so he can become a “Refuge” not only for us but for others around us as well.

“Homecoming time is near, so let’s make this clear, if you’ve got dancing in mind, you're going to LOVE Retro Rewind!” This night will be full of fun, food, fellowship and dancing to not only today’s tunes that you love but some of the best dancing songs ever. So come with your dancing shoes on (and dressed to represent your favorite decade, if desired!) and show us what you’ve got, because dancing never gets old, even if some of the music is!

This year's Homecoming dance is October 8th from 7-10pm at White Pines Golf Club 500 W Jefferson St. Bensenville IL 60106.

This event is open to all active members of the Midwest teen ministries (grades 9-12). Contact your teen leaders if you need further clarification.

What to wear: Dress is semi-formal. As a Church-sponsored event, our dances require modest clothing, meaning things are not too tight or revealing. Please contact your teen leaders personally if you have further questions. 

Cost is $50 per person which includes the dance, appetizers, desserts and soda. 

Register by September 30th:

Michigan Families: Please contact Andrew and Keren once you have registered if you are interested in having your child carpool with us to this event. If we do not hear from you, space may be full and you will need to find your own transportation! Thank you!
