“Do not be conformed to
this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may
discern what is the will of God - what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
(Romans 12:2)
On
Confirmation Sunday (April 24th) we celebrate a milestone for 32 of
our young people. They will profess personal faith in Jesus Christ as their
Lord and Savior and become full, “professing members” of our church, some by
baptism and some by reaffirmation of faith.
Youth
Confirmation is a four-month pilgrimage in our church which began last January
and culminates each Spring. It includes meetings and special activities
designed to help our youth learn about both our beliefs and our history as
United Methodist Christians, and its aim has been to help our students take even
more important steps towards their own personal Christian growth and maturity.
We
express special appreciation to our volunteer adult mentors, youth parents, and
others who’ve made personal investments in the lives of each confirmand during
this process. Our hope is that these special relationships will live long after
Confirmation Sunday itself.
We invite you to join us either
during 9am Morning Glory or 11am Traditional worship on April 24th day
to celebrate what Christ is doing in and through their lives, to support them
with your prayers and presence, and to greet them personally following the
services.
Remember,
God loves you and I do, too!
