Confirmation

Confirmation 2013 is coming. We're using the 8 week Credo Confirmaiton curriculum. This curriculum is divided into three sections:

"Know Your Story: Gives confirmands a basic knowledge and understanding of the Christian story, as contained in the Old and New Testaments and the history of the church.

Confirm Your Faith: Teaches confirmands about the core beliefs, practices, and emphases of United Methodist Christians.

Live Your Commitment: Explores with confirmands the vows that they will take if they choose to be confirmed so that they understand the commitment they will be making and the expectations that come with being confirmed as a professing member of The United Methodist Church." from www.cokesbury.com

Our confirmands will meet each week in our afternoon sessions as well as working on their Confirmation Journals at home. Our Class will begin with an Orientation Meeting with youth and parents. We'll have an overnight Lock-In at the church involving ice breakers, lessons on the Sacramanets (baptism and communion) with Pastor Steve, a group project and a service project (putting together Health Kits for Conference). Confirmation Sunday will be Sunday, May 19th at the 8:15 a.m. service followed by a reception in Fellowship Hall.

Youth in 7th grade and above are welcome to join Confirmation 2013. Dates and times will be posted in the next two weeks.
