When you’re juggling a crazy schedule with the rest of everyday life, it can be hard to truly set time aside to truly focus on one thing. Knowing the immense value of such times, the MCF Student Group holds an annual Fall Retreat called “Shine”. Shine is an opportunity to grow closer to God and to each other. We’ll be going to Camp Mardela on the Eastern Shore to literally get away from it all. It’s just 24 hours so almost everyone can fit it into their schedule.
