Fall youth retreat - Stronghold Camp and Conference Center
This year’s middle and high school retreat will be a fun-filled day trip to Stronghold Camp and Conference Center in Oregon, Illinois! Our youth will join others from across the Presbytery for a day of connection, team building, and adventure on Saturday, November 8.
We’ll plan to leave around 9:00 am (exact time will be shared closer to the date) and return before midnight. We’ll carpool from church to the retreat and back home, with the possibility of drop-offs on the way for those who live west of church.
The cost this year is $25.00 per student, which includes lunch, dinner, and plenty of fun activities like archery, team-building challenges, and a bonfire to close out the day. The event is accessible, and scholarships are available—just reach out to Kelly Pearce to make arrangements.
✅ Deadline to register: October 17th
To attend, participants must complete all of the following:
RSVP to Kelly Pearce by email or text at kellyhpearce@gmail.com or 630-723-7938.
Complete the Stronghold Liability Waiver download here.
Complete the Youth Program Registration Form online here.
Submit payment of $25.00 per student (non-refundable). Payment may be made through the church’s giving page by selecting “Stronghold” from the dropdown, or by check payable to "FVPC" dropped off in the church office along with the printed waiver.
👉 Additional Chaperone Needed: We currently have one chaperone confirmed but will need at least one additional parent volunteer to help drive and join us for the day. If you would like to help, please email or text at kellyhpearce@gmail.com or 630-723-7938.
We can’t wait for this awesome day together—having fun and making great memories!

Each year on Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birthday of the church. The Holy Spirit remains with us still, connecting us with the church of the past, continuing to inspire the church of today, and pointing us to the church of the future. Each year, this celebration is marked by receiving the Pentecost Offering which nurtures the faith of those who are the church to come. Our gifts to the Pentecost Offering connect with God’s hope and future, supporting ministries with children, youth and young adults by building a life of faith.
Of this offering:
40% remains with FVPC to support ministries with children and youth in our church and local community.
25% supports the Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) experience. YAVs volunteer for a time to engage in mission in the US and around the world.
10% supports children at-risk.
25% supports ministries with youth including Presbyterian Youth Triennium.
We will receive the offering in worship today. You may contribute online beginning May 25.
