Apolda has been celebrating the first confirmation in 10 years - cheers in the Lutherhaus!

Apolda, Deutschland - On June 22nd, an important event took place in Apolda: the first company celebration in ten years. 37 young people from the parish of Jena, which belong to Apolda, Camburg, Bad Sulza and Jena, received the sacrament of confirmation in the Lutherkirche Apolda, donated by Aweihbischof Reinhard Hauke ​​from Erfurt. The decision to move the ceremony from the originally planned city church to the Lutherkirche had become necessary because ceiling damage was found in the town church. Since September 2024, the young people had intensively prepared for this important belief in the belief, which at the same time symbolized that they are willing to take responsibility for their faith. An annual company course with around 35 participants is established in the parish to prepare the young people for this step.

But that wasn't the only highlight on the weekend. On June 25th, a lecture by Belinda Grace Gardner on "Akrobats of the World Theater" will be offered at the Kunsthaus Apolda. In addition, the 21st Apolda city run is waiting for numerous participants in the Hans Geupel Stadium. This starts at 5 p.m. and offers different runs for different age groups. If you are not yet registered, you have the opportunity to register either online or on site by 5 p.m. on the event day.

volunteer engagement in the region

Another exciting aspect of the regional community is voluntary commitment. In Cologne, for example, around 900 volunteers are active in 28 units, 24 of them with children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 18. Volunteers not only have a decisive influence on the common good, they also develop important skills and sometimes discover their own strengths. As reports kangaroo online, young people and young adults are particularly active in this area. The popular volunteer areas include sports clubs, student representatives and church offers that offer many opportunities to contribute socially.
