SPRING CONFIRMATION RETREATS
Explore your faith and enjoy fellowship with youth from other churches. Spots are starting to fill up! Join us for one of our two sessions:
March 6th - 7th or April 3rd - 4th
Holmes Camp Confirmation Retreats
are designed for confirmation classes, leaders and adult mentors. Together, we will ask and affirm the big questions about how our own spiritual development is relevant as we navigate and explore our own journeys and how they intersect with family, community, service, church, and our choices. We'll have some fun, too! More information or register,
