Confirmation Weekend
Due to the unprecedented Covid outbreak last spring, Immanuel took the unprecedented step of postponing eighth grade Confirmation indefinitely. Now the time has come for these young adults to confess their faith and reaffirm the promises made for them at their baptism. After completing their video Statements of Faith [available at immanuelbatavia.org/watch] and a short review period, they are meeting privately with one of our pastors or ministry directors to ensure they are ready to enter into this more mature phase of their ongoing relationship with God. On Sat., Oct. 24, Reformation celebration weekend, our confirmands will participate in the Rite of Confirmation at one of three services [9 AM, 11 AM, or 1 PM] to ensure safety. Please pray God's richest blessings upon the Confirmation Class of 2020.
