Confirmation for Small Congregations

is a program designed to bring smaller confirmation classes together in a retreat setting to enhance the opportunity for lively conversations and to get to know Lutheran peers from other areas. The program consists of three weekend retreats over the winter months (January, February and March); the first weekend is from Friday-Sunday and the two subsequent weekends are Friday-Saturday only. This is to enable pastors to participate in the process and not miss 3 Sunday worship times. The program is open to all congregations and require an adult facilitator to aid in small group discussions that can, but does not have to be, the confirmands pastor.
