Living Skies Regional Council

Youth at Regional Council 2023
2023-05-25 - 2023-05-28 | Prince Albert: Calvary United Church, 114 25 St. E., Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, S6V 1S5
All the United Churches in Saskatchewan are gathering to connect with each other, discuss current issues, and make decisions about the future of the church… and the youth will be a part of it! Come and join us for 4 days in Prince Albert for an awesome time to learn about how the church works, get to know youth from other parts of the province, and reconnect with friends you’ve already met. We’ll be spending time as part of the conference and then also breaking off into our own youth-only time, including a trip to beautiful Camp Christopher on Saturday afternoon, sleepovers and games at Calvary United Church every night, and attending the Heart of the Youth Powwow on Friday.
We can’t wait to see you there!
We will be sleeping on the floor at Calvary United Church in Prince Albert, and carpooling over to the event at the Exhibition Centre for the meetings. We will head out to Camp Christopher on Christopher Lake on Saturday afternoon, which is about 50 km north of PA. Youth participants are not permitted to drive their own vehicles during the event – rides will be arranged.
The Regional Council event starts for all participants at 2 pm on Thursday the 25th, but the youth will gather at the Exhibition Centre at 1 pm to check in and meet each other before things get started. Everything wraps up on Sunday at noon once the Service of Praise is finished at Calvary United Church.
Meals and snacks for Thursday afternoon, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning will all be included in the registration fee.
Leadership Team (just in case you’re wondering)
Rev. Lindsay Mohn (she/her) is the regional Minister in support of Youth & Young Adult Ministry for Living Skies Region (geographic Saskatchewan). She’s playing the role of registrar and planning team co-ordinator for this retreat and is excited to be working a bunch of amazing leadership people.

This event is open to anyone in the region in grades 7-12 who is interested in exploring confirmation. We will spend the weekend learning and talking faith stuff and at the end of the event you will have the option of being confirmed with your home congregation. If you or your church have questions about how this works, please be in touch!
Here’s the quick bullet-point FAQ for now:

Grades 7-12 are welcome
