Bear Day Camps are action packed adventures for campers who are in elementary school. Morning watch, games, arts and crafts, nature activities, singing, and Vespers make the week an exiting and fun time that helps campers grow in their understanding of God, self, creation, and community.

The day camp is co-sponsored by the Wilkes Barre Lutheran Churches, St. Mark, Messiah, St. John, and Good Shepherd.

The camp fee is $75.00 and the option overnight at Bear Creek Camp is $11.00. Scholarships are available. Contact the Good Shepherd church office at 824-2991 for more information and registration material.

Four Youth Confirmed

Four youth were confirmed through the Affirmation of Baptism on Sunday, May 11,2008. Through the Affirmation of Baptism, the youth confirmed the promises that their parents and sponsors made for them at Baptism and publicly affirmed their belief in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Good Shepherd’s confirmation program includes three years of faith education by the pastors and lay instructors. Classes cover the sacraments, prayer, Bible study, Lutheran theology, and their relationship with God as Christians. Candidates are matched with an adult mentor during the third year.  This relationship helps strengthen their faith through a special bond with their mentor.
