Yesterday and today we had are annual Confirmation retreat with our junior high students. It was a pretty good time for the students even though it was extremely cold. We have the retreat at a camp and the students sleep in cabins. The cabins are not heated and last night it dipped down to 27 degrees F. At least it didn’t snow like they are getting in Michigan.
I think the highlight for me was interviewing our 8th graders that are leaving us for high school. It is really cool to see how much they have grown these past two years and how much they enjoyed their small groups. Some of the interviews were very encouraging and others were quite predictable. This coming weekend is Confirmation Sunday. We are going to have JH students more involved than ever. We are doing two dramas and two of our students are going to speak. No sermon. We’ll see how it goes.
