Abundant Life Confirmation Retreat
January 14 - 16

Picture
Each year, confirmation students attend a retreat to explore healthy relationships and sexuality through a lens of faith. This is a required retreat each year.

Held at Camp Wapo in Amery Wisconsin, the retreat is a collaborative effort between multiple Lutheran Churches in the Twin Cities and is led by a trained sex educator and local pastors, along with adult chaperones from each church.

The retreats offer different content for each year. Topics will rotate so youth will experience a different theme each year – one year will focus on “Faith and Sexuality” with workshops on sex and the Bible, language and anatomy of sexuality, gender identity, sexual orientation, and addressing personal concerns about puberty. The other year will focus on “Faith and Healthy Relationships,” with workshops on self-esteem, healthy relationships, consent and concern, and values-based decision making with an intentional conversations on media and internet use. Third year content will focus on “Faith and Justice”

Parent Information Meeting

There are two parent information meetings available. One will be held on November 10th (Valley of Peace Lutheran Church in Golden Valley) & November 17th (St. Anthony Park Lutheran Church in St. Anthony Park) Please attend whichever meeting works best for your schedule. This meeting is intended for parents/caregivers.
