Confirmation Retreats
What does it mean to be a member of a church?
What are YOUR responsibilities?
What expectations come with confirmation?
You may know the answer but do your youth fully understand what it means to be confirmed? We invite you and your youth to join other UM confirmands as they are led through the weekend discovering the rich history of The United Methodist Church. Materials from both Claim the Name (Living Springs) and Credo (East Bay and Little Grassy) will give an opportunity for your students to grow as they learn.
Retreats are designed to complement, not replace, the confirmation classes at the local church. Register early for your first choice of camp. Retreats will start on Friday at 7 p.m. and end after worship on Sunday by 11 a.m.
One adult must attend with each group of 5 or fewer youth. Contact Camping/Retreat/Youth Ministries at 217-529-2646 or 217-529-3007, or by e-mail Brenda Harris for more information. Retreats fill early, so register now to ensure a spot for your group.
