La Foret Youth Retreat
2016-11-04 16:00 - 2016-11-06 12:00 | Lakewood United Church of Christ, 100 Carr Street, Lakewood, CO, 80226, United States
This fall’s theme is re:Claim the Name. During the retreat, we will be naming, discussing, unpacking, and playing with words and phrases that are thrown about in Christianity. We will be encouraging the youth to define and develop personal understandings of these theological words and themes for themselves. At our Fall Retreats, we invite church youth groups to come together in order to help the local congregations solidify youth friendships at the start of the program year. As much as possible, we place youth groups in cabins together and program the weekend to allow for youth-group bonding and conversation time as well as large-group gatherings, free time, and evening events in which campers catch up with old friends and meet new ones. Any and all youth grades 6-12 are welcome. Scholarships are available, we never want finances to keep youth from enjoying the retreat. See Curt Preston for details. Register now at rmcucc.org/camps-events/fall-spirit-spark-retreat.

In the spring, the confirmands will have the opportunity to decide if they would like to “be confirmed,” which includes publically affirming their baptism. Students not yet baptized will have the option of being baptized. Additionally, the confirmands will have the option of becoming members of Lakewood UCC.

Event Summery:

Shane’s Bio:
Shane Claiborne graduated from Eastern University and did graduate work at Princeton Seminary. In 2010, he received an Honorary Doctorate from Eastern. His adventures have taken him from the streets of Calcutta where he worked with Mother Teresa, to the wealthy suburbs of Chicago where he served at the influential mega-church Willow Creek. As a peacemaker, his journeys have taken him to some of the most troubled regions of the world – from Rwanda to the West Bank – and he’s been on peace delegations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Shane is a founder and board member of The Simple Way, a faith community in inner city Philadelphia that has helped birth and connect radical faith communities around the world. He is married to Katie Jo, a North Carolina girl who also fell in love with the city (and with Shane). They were wed in St. Edwards church, the formerly abandoned cathedral into which homeless families relocated in 1995, launching the beginning of the Simple Way community and a new phase of faith-based justice making.

Shane writes and travels extensively speaking about peacemaking, social justice, and Jesus. Shane’s books include Jesus for President, Red Letter Revolution, Common Prayer, Follow Me to Freedom, Jesus, Bombs and Ice Cream, Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers – and his classic The Irresistible Revolution. He has been featured in a number of films including “Another World Is Possible” and “Ordinary Radicals.” His books are translated into more than a dozen languages. Shane speaks over 100 times a year, both nationally and internationally.

His work has appeared in Esquire, SPIN, Christianity Today, and The Wall Street Journal, and he has been on everything from Fox News and Al Jazeera to CNN and NPR. He’s given academic lectures at Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Liberty, Duke, and Notre Dame. Shane speaks regularly at denominational gatherings, festivals, and conferences around the globe.
