A new year of confirmation is on the horizon! We have our mandatory confirmation orientation night on August 27th from 6-7pm. We want to make it easier for you so we will be having a simple BBQ dinner while we fill you in on the year ahead. At orientation we will get you a catechism, your journal, the code to get into our Google Classroom, and the schedule for the year. Confirmation is a 3 year program for 6th-8th graders (mature 5th graders are considered but you need to talk to pastor Ryan about it before signing up) Please RSVP so we have enough books, food, and journals.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12
