- Sunday, September 25, is the presentation of our 3rd grade bibles in church. 3rd graders and parents/guardians be sure to stick with us after church for a short orientation on your new bible's.
 Confirmation will look different this year! There will be online content as well as face-to-face meetings this year. Come to the Confirmation orientations to find out what this will look like - and feel free to ask questions! 

Each student will be asked to acolyte throughout the year as well (light the worship candles).  Each student is asked for 15 worship reflections (file below). And each student is asked to serve at least 10 hours in their community. 

Orientation for 7th and 8th grade confirmation will be on Sunday, August 28th at 10am in the fellowship hall.
