Bishop’s Confirmation Retreat 2020 will explore learning how to relate to God, other people and the world as United Methodists. Theme: “Relate” This is an event for young people in the confirmation process in United Methodist congregations or those wanting to go deeper in their faith to gather for a time away from their local setting, spend time with others from around the annual conference, to deepen their faith in Jesus Christ and enhance their love of God and others.

Friday, August 7, 2020 – Sunday, August 9, 2020

Psalm 84:5 Those who put their strength in You are truly happy; journeying is in their hearts.

Q Camp: High School, at Camp Magruder on the Oregon Coast, is an opportunity for LGBTQ+ high schoolers to focus on their road of faith: where they’ve been in life, from out or not out LGBTQ+; for those who are questioning; to those who know where they are today on life’s road, and open to exploring where they are headed on the road of faith with Jesus as their guide.

As they gather together at Camp Magruder and explore the theme of Sacred Roads, they will have the opportunity to safely walk with others on this journey toward a future that embraces them for who they are as our LGBTQ+ people of faith.
