Lost and Found includes Large Group gatherings with lots of singing, energy, comedy, worship and a presentation on our event theme. After each Large Group gathering, participants gather in a Small Group. These are made up of a handful of youth and a couple adult leaders. In small groups, participants will get to know other Lutheran youth from Virginia and discuss life and faith as well as other topics that arise throughout the weekend.
On Saturday afternoon there is large chunk of Free Time during which participants can continue to build relationships, enjoy outdoor recreation, visit the Eagle Eyrie coffee shop and ice cream parlor, and so much more. Our annual Talent Show will also take place during this time, it’s a great time to support your friends as well as show off a unique talent.
In the evenings you will relax in your Cottage and gather with other youth and adults from your congregation and other congregations to talk about how the weekend is going.
Here’s a little video that gives you a first-hand look at what happens at Lost and Found!
Options for payment: If you register online, payment through the “Give” tab at the synod website (www.vasynod.org) is required at time of registration. If you are mailing in a paper registration form, either pay online at the “Give” tab or include a check according to the instructions on the form.
Something to note: For those who have been to 7th Day, our overnight retreat for 5th and 6th graders, this event is a little bit different. Lost and Found is more of a discussion-based event, where participants get to know their small groups through games, activities, readings, and more to better understand their faith as it relates to the theme of the event. If you have more questions about what Lost and Found is all about, please contact Dave Delaney, delaney@vasynod.org.
We hope to see you there!
