2024 Fall Confirmation Retreat
October 4-5, 2024
Rock Springs 4-H Ranch
Junction City, KS
85 participants (64 youth, 21 adults) gathered for the third annual Fall Confirmation Retreat, held October 4-5, 2024, at Rock Springs Ranch located south of Junction City. This year’s Confirmation Retreat theme was “The Lord’s Prayer.” Rev. Michael Ada presented on the Heavenly Petitions (Introduction-3rd Petition), Rev. Christian Schultz taught the Earthly Petitions (4th Petition-Close), and Rev. David Kahle gave insights on the Habit of Prayer. Confirmands from Linn to Wichita, from Garden City to Olathe all enjoyed the sessions, camp games, and capture the flag.
Thank you all who attended, helped, and presented!

The Spiritual Goals of the Confirmation Retreat are to assist in the catechetical instruction of local congregations, their pastors, parents and youth leaders through in-depth study; connect confirmands across the Kansas District that they may rejoice in the common confession and faith of Lutheran churches; and gather for an overnight time of fellowship including prayer, study, and recreation for youth to foster deeper relationships in their life together as the Church.
