Celebration of Confirmation



46 6th - 8th grade confirmation students went on a road trip to Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul. They enjoyed a great evening of music, skits and messages. The theme this year was Drop by drop. The kids were asked to take the H20 challenge by leading the congregation in raising awareness and dollars for clean water needs and issues in our African Companion Synods. Together, we can make a difference!
The second challenge is: Don't Bottle it Up Challenge - asking the youth to lead their congregation to rethink and reduce use of bottled water!
Thanks to the chaperons who went with the youth on this fun event.

7th Graders had a great time at Camp Onamia.
