Sunday Youth Education

Sunday mornings during the Discipleship Hour, 9:00 am
Our curriculum is following the Narrative Lectionary.
All youth grades 6-12 gather together in 322/Conference Room at the start of class (9:00 am) to read the lesson and learn about the week’s theme. After the short large group instruction we break into a high school group and a middle school group. Each small group discusses the text, theme, and questions.
Each week families get Sunday’s lesson emailed to them to use at home or to later talk with their youth. Each lesson has information, questions to discuss, and “Home Reflections” with activities to do as a family throughout the week to reflect on that Sunday’s lesson. It is a way for your family to continue to engage the bible and your faith throughout the week!

Retreats

Get away for a weekend. We get to know each other better, laugh, serve, pray, and spend time focused on God.

Holden Youth Weekend:  May 17-19, 2024
We look forward to this weekend every year!

In November 2023, Bobbi Jo Cyr from Saint Matthew’s and Saint Andrew’s Doug Johnson led a fall retreat attended by 75 youth and adults from around our synod.

Theme: Created to Be ME!

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. – Psalm139:14

Throughout this weekend retreat, we explored how we are each created in God’s own image, uniquely made, and endlessly loved. We explored themes of how we are created to be (____) and ultimately, how we are empowered to be our unique selves.
