REFUGE (Confirmation)
6th-8th grade FROM 6-7:45 PM DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR

Refuge is a place to call home. It is a sanctuary from the stress, a reprieve from the restlessness, a support for your story of faith. Jesus is who we need, and Jesus is who we’ll seek. Together. Throughout our time together, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students will grow to be equipped to say YES to God, who said YES to us in our baptisms.

Refuge will begin at 6pm on Wednesdays in community. Cell phones will be in a caddy, and we’ll hang together for ½ hour before teaching and small group time. We’ll play ping pong, 9 Square, or throw a football around. We’ll play board games or do homework. We’ll sit and talk, together, with Jesus and with each other.

It’s not about adding another activity to your already full plates. We exist to walk alongside you in your everyday lives, discovering with you how God is helping each of us navigate to full lives, enriching community and feelings of belonging and grace. Bring your whole self to Haven, and meet God here. Haven meets in the summer on Wednesdays from 7-9 pm, with rising 9th graders invited. In the fall, Haven meets on Wednesdays from 5:30-7:45 pm.
