CONFIRMATION INTEREST Meeting Sunday, Aug. 25, 2019
"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 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 be using a new curriculum resource for Confirmation this 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. 25 at 11:15 a.m. We'll enjoy pizza and get better acquainted with each other and our new Confirmation experience at Grace. The meeting will last no longer than an hour. If this meeting time/date doesn't work for you but you're interested, please contact me...Jim@gracesiouxcity.org
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, or questions, as soon as possible.

Grace Confirmation Class of 2019
These young people have chosen to proclaim their faith and to become members of Grace United Methodist Church and of the United Methodist denomination. I hope you will keep them in your prayers, support them as they find their paths and continue to share the journey of faith with them. Thanks to their family members for supporting them along the way. Special thanks to my Co-Teacher and our soon-to-be Christian Education Director Krista Waite. Welcome to the Grace family!
It has been a joy to work with these students in 13 sessions over the past 10 months. Together we have explored and discussed:
