Confirmation is right around the corner and each new year brings with it new opportunities, adventures, and challenges. One of those opportunities for our 6th graders is the Confirmation process! Confirmation begins on Sunday, January 12, in the Fellowship Hall. Each lesson will be on a Sunday night from 5:00-7:00 pm, includes dinner, and is facilitated by one of our clergy members. We will hold a parent meeting on Sunday, December 8, at 9:45 am, in the Assembly Hall.

Our Confirmation Retreat is scheduled for February 7-8 at Shocco Springs. This is truly a transformational retreat where the students learn more about themselves, each other, and the United Methodist faith. The total cost for Confirmation is $165 and includes the retreat, meals, and a t-shirt.
