Faith Formation Activities
Preschool through high school students had a Meet and Greet in June of 2023 at the
Rosebud RV Park on Lake Traverse. Everyone had a great time meeting their
teachers and spending time with their friends.
Our Faith Formation Program held a Parent/Student Meeting on September 17, 2023,
followed by a potluck dinner in the church basement.
The students enjoyed making craft projects at the Student/Parent meeting.
Our Faith Formation Program had a bowling party to end our 2023/2024 year.
They traveled to Graceville and were able to bowl and have a pizza party.
Thank you to Karyn Peterson, our Director of Religious Education,
for overseeing the program for the year.
