All-day retreats for our Confirmation Students in grades 7 and 8
will be held on:

- Monday,
February 16
- Friday,
March 26
Retreat
times are 9:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m.
This
year's curriculum will be Road Trip: The New Journeys in Faith.
During each retreat a section of the Small Catechism will be studied
while the group takes a Road trip via video presentations.
Unit
1: The Ten Commandments
After an introduction to Catechism study, the video segments for
this unit are centered on individuals who tell about their struggles
not only with keeping the Ten Commandments, but remembering what
they are. These segments are heavily augmented with other material
from contemporary movies (in order to avoid talking head syndrome).
Unit
2: The Apostles' Creed
God shows up in the most unlikely places. The video pieces for this
unit depict a handful of students who meet the Triune God over the
Internet. Did you know God has a web page? Did you know Jesus answers
e-mail? Did you know the Holy Spirit even moves through cyberspace
to build the church? Neither did we.
Unit
3: The Lord's Prayer
As we head into the next millennium, the art form of choice appears
to be the simply drawn (and somewhat puerile) animated cartoon.
Not to be outdone by the likes of King of the Hill, The Simpsons,
Beavis and Butthead, and South Park, Road Trip offers its own spiritually
edifying contribution to the genre: Lauds Prairie. Join two middle-schoolers
(Alice and Edwin) as they take you through the small town of Lauds
Prairie. Visit, among other places, Thy Name Church and Daily Bread
Market.
Unit
4: The Sacraments
Who ever said science and religion where incompatible? In the six
video segments which make up this unit, you'll be introduced to
the somewhat unorthodox teaching style of Karl the Catechism Guy.
Karl, implementing a large number of object lessons, will introduce
students to the Sacraments of Baptism and The Lord's Supper. The
last video segment involves Karl's own experience with Confession
and Absolution.
