"Confirmation" is an opportunity for young people to enter into conversations with me, their peers, parents and other church members and friends about their faith journeys. They'll discover more about themselves and others, about Christianity, United Methodism and Grace United Methodist Church.
Once they've completed the Confirmation experience, each participant will be invited to consider making a formal commitment as a member of our family of faith at Grace.
I'm excited that we'll again be using a curriculum resource for Confirmation which debuted last year! It's called "Confirm" (great name, right!?) and will, I think, help participants, parents, mentors (and me!) learn a great deal and have a good time doing it.
I'm inviting 7th and 8th graders (and the adults responsible for them) to join me in the large conference room Sunday, Aug. 26 at 11:15 a.m. We'll enjoy pizza and get better acquainted with each other and our new Confirmation experience at Grace. If this meeting time/date doesn't work for you but you're interested, please contact me jim@gracesiouxcity.org
If there are those in 9th grade or above who “missed” Confirmation classes here at Grace or elsewhere (or who’d like a refresher!), let’s talk.
Also...I'm looking for folks who'd love to share their journey of faith one-on-one with one of the confirmation students as a mentor! I'll gather the mentors at a separate orientation meeting at a time/place to be announced, but I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know of your interest, and any questions, as soon as possible.
