Confirmation 2 families!

We want to remind everyone that all retreat payments, permission slips, and parent homework must be turned in no later than Tuesday, October 27.

We truly want all of our teens to be able to join us for this retreat! 🙏Our hope is that we can all come together as one Confirmation family to share in this meaningful experience of faith & fellowship.

However, if the required items are not turned in by the deadline, your teen will have to attend a retreat with a different church.

Please take a moment to make sure everything is completed and turned in by Tuesday, October 27th. We appreciate your understanding and commitment to helping make this retreat possible for everyone. 💙🙏
