Confirmation Retreat 2006-2007 – The Lord’s Prayer

Dear Parents of Confirmands,

The confirmation retreat is coming quickly! The retreat is scheduled for Friday, March 23 through Sunday, March 25, at the St. John Lutheran Retreat Center near Leesburg. This retreat will be only for 2nd year confirmation students from Trinity. The retreat will cover all classes on the Lord’s Prayer so it is a required retreat.

Enclosed is an emergency health form (2-sided) and a “what to bring” list with additional details about the retreat. Please return the emergency health form and the $ 70 retreat fee to Pastor Moore or the church office by Sunday, March 11. Please note that the health form is no longer required to be notarized. The $70 cost will cover meals, snacks, lodging, supplies, chaperone cost, and transportation. If the retreat fee is difficult for you, please contact Pastor Moore. There are scholarship funds available for those who need it.

We will return from the retreat in time for the 11:00 service on Sunday. The confirmation students will sit together for worship and have a special part in the service.

We have three intrepid chaperones for the retreat, Ted Lange, Randy Zook, and Marietta Hinton, plus our DCE Intern, Dan Davies, will be leading much of the activity, while I will be teaching the main content. The chaperones’ main duties will be supervising nights in the bunkhouses and being small group discussion leaders. (Questions and answers are given to the leaders.) It is a fun and rewarding opportunity! Chaperones do not pay the fee, of course! Ted has volunteered to handle food.

Joy and peace in Christ,
