7th Grade Confirmation Class
Confirmation is a wonderful starting point within the United Methodist Church where 7th grade students can delve deeply into the tenets of our faith and ask tough questions in a safe environment. The promise parents make at their student's baptism to raise them in God's love is "confirmed" at this time. Students who have not previously been baptized have an opportunity to do so along with their confirmation at the conclusion of the class. W
e will explore the meaning of baptism, spiritual disciplines, the Holy Trinity, Communion, the importance of grace in the United Methodist Church and any other questions that might arise. At the end of the course, students make a public claim to the title of Christian and United Methodist on Confirmation Weekend at the conclusion of the school year.
The next Confirmation Class begins
September 10.
Parent information meetings are
Sunday, August 20, 12-1:30pm or
Wednesday, August 23, 6-7:30pm in the Youth Activities Center. Parents and students should choose one of these dates and times to receive information on the upcoming classes.
