Calling all VA Synod high schoolers!
Winter Celebration will take place Friday, February 2, 27th through Sunday, February 4th.
Winter Celebration is the Virginia Synod’s annual weekend retreat for youth in 9th through 12th grade, as well as their adult advisors.
We have Large Group gatherings that consist of singing, energy, comedy, worship and Planning Group presentations on our event theme. After each Large Group gathering, participants will gather in Small Groups. These are made up of a handful of youth and a couple adult leaders. In small groups, participants will get to know other Lutheran youth from Virginia and discuss life, faith as well as other topics that arise throughout the weekend.
On Saturday afternoon there is large chunk of Free Time during which participants can continue to build relationships, enjoy outdoor recreation, visit the Eagle Eyrie coffee shop and ice cream parlor, and so much more. Our annual Talent Show will also take place during this time, it’s a great time to support your friends as well as show off a unique talent.
In the evenings you will relax in your Cottage and gather with other youth and adults from your congregation, and other congregations, to talk about how the weekend is going.
Early Registration ends January 7, 2024!
We hope to see you there!
The Rev. Dave Delaney
