I hope all of you are praying for our 12 young people who are completing the final steps necessary to celebrate their Confirmation and affirm their own baptismal promises! They are writing some deep and profound Statements of Faith – a testament to the fact that this congregation takes seriously its responsibility to “raise up a child in the way they should go…”!
Next Wednesday, October 24, we will share in the Confirmation Banquet which begins at 5:30 pm with pictures and a short rehearsal. Thank you to all the 8
th grade students and their parents who will host this special meal time which follows for the 9
th graders and their families and guests.
Please join with these young people on Reformation Sunday, Oct 28, at the 10:30 service, as they declare their own promises and intentions of participation in the life of this congregation and Christ’s mission of love and service near and far!
Reminder: Students in grades 6 and 7 will have class on Wednesday, Oct 24, beginning at 6:30 pm, sharing in a special service project.
