Spotlight on Coming Of Age (COA)

in /by

As a faith community we mark the transition from Child to Adolescent through a program called Coming of Age.  During the COA year, 8th/9th graders participate in a variety of workshops, challenges, and fun activities aimed at helping youth further define who they are and what they stand for.  The COA experience culminates in a camping weekend with physical and mental challenges, including an extended solo vigil in the woods. At the end of the camping weekend, parents/guardians are invited to camp to re-covenant with their adolescent in a ritual that acknowledges the need for new privileges as well as new responsibilities within the family.

Mark your calendars for Sunday May 18th when the COA youth will lead worship and share their reflections with the congregation.
