Coming to the Lord’s Table is one the central moments in the life of the faithful. This retreat is about providing an opportunity to learn about communion, the sacraments, and the gift we are receiving through the invitation to come to the table.

This retreat is for children and their families who are coming to the table for the first time, or celebrating this milestone of faith. In the Lutheran tradition, most congregations mark the fulfillment of this baptismal promise in elementary school so the retreat will be geared towards that age group.

The Come to the Table learning component will happen through an all day program on Saturday, March 1, 2025. Families will have the option of adding on Friday and Saturday overnights to extend their family time with fun camp activities like games and campfire! On Sunday morning we will conclude our time together with worship and brunch.

Participants can sign up as an individual family or congregations may choose to send a group of families together.
