Confirmation

Confirmation

WHY CONFIRMATION? – Confirmation is a deliberate and intensive time to connect middle school youth with their faith.  Students will learn about the promises made on their behalf by parents and godparents.  They will then affirm those promises on the last Sunday of October in their 9th-grade year.

Pastor Meredith looks forward to starting off Confirmation in October but she can’t do it alone. We need willing small group leaders. Please let Pastor Meredith know if you are willing to serve again this year or if you are a newly enrolled parent, please volunteer.

 Please register with the attached form.
