Confirmation is a two-year program designed for youth in grades seven and eight where they explore their relationship with themselves, each other, the Church, and God. The youth will delve into the overarching theme of the Church’s Tradition as they seek to understand how and why Episcopalians worship the way we do. Accompanied by faithful adult mentors, confirmands will be encouraged to learn about their faith by asking questions and openly expressing doubts. There will be opportunities for large group discussions as well as small group reflections, giving the confirmands opportunities to create meaningful relationships with their peers and their adult mentors.

For more information, please contact Wendy.

Youth Group provides a welcoming space/time for youth in grades 7 to 12 to have fun, unwind, reflect, and serve others. It will serve as an opportunity for them to retreat from their normal routines, enjoy a meal, and have fun and fellowship with each other. There will be opportunities for off-campus fun activities (bowling, mini golf, movies, etc.) as well as offerings to use their time and talents to serve others. The focus will be on creating an environment of ‘being’, rather than on ‘doing’. For more information, please contact Wendy.

For the fall season, we will be studying the Gospel of John using a book/video resource by Amy-Jill Levine. Levine is a New Testament professor and scholar who describes herself as “an unorthodox member of an Orthodox Jewish synagogue and a Yankee Jewish feminist who until 2021 taught New Testament in a Christian divinity school in the buckle of the Bible Belt.”

This curriculum is described:

John’s Gospel offers readers a new language—of being born anew, of living water, of wind and spirit, of the “I am”—that enhances how we understand the divine, how we experience the world, and how we participate in the mystery of faith.

With her characteristic wit and charm, Amy-Jill Levine introduces readers to the world of the Gospel of John by unpacking the stories in their original context, along with examining how the text is read today. This book considers the Gospel of John in its entirety, moving through the Gospel and exploring the prologue, the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery, the healing of the man at the pool and the man born blind, foot washing, Mary Magdalene and Doubting Thomas, and the Lamb of God.

All curious women who wish to deepen their spiritual lives and relationships with God and one another are eagerly invited to be part of this Spirited, interactive weekly gathering!

Incognito is a one-man, autobiographical play in which over the course of 50 minutes author/actor/podcaster Michael Fosberg portrays over a dozen characters as he tells the true tale of the search for his biological father. For the past 15+ years, this non-traditional, unique entertaining presentation has captivated groups from as far ranging as The Boeing Company, to the Dept. of Homeland Security, to various churches, high schools, and beyond. Through Incognito, Fosberg’s search for deeper understanding highlights the courage it takes to live life from a place of authenticity and heart. The morning will begin with an optional continental breakfast at 9:30 a.m.; the play at 10:00 a.m.; and a post-show discussion will take place until 11:30 a.m. This program is part of the North Shore Episcopal Collective, Leading with Love series that is a collaboration with CCW, Holy Comforter and Church of the Holy Spirit Lake Forest. Email Rev. Cynthia with any questions. The play is free but please register.
