CC2016

Our confirmation class of 2016 began last Sunday evening at Erin Presbyterian. We have six candidates and they are: Kolton Pennington, Lauren Gahan, Keegan Stump, Chloe Levering, Harter Crisp, and Konnor Stump. All of them are brilliant young people and our church is honored and privileged to have them as part of our family.

The candidates will meet for eight lessons over the next three months. The proposed schedule is as follows:

Confirmation – 8 Class Session (during MS Youth Group – 4.45 -5.45PM Sundays)

Jan 24:  Baptism – the beginning of our Faith Journey

 Jan 31:  Discipleship – called by God

Feb 07: Healing – Where is God when it hurts? (during Sunday School Hour)

Feb 21: Tradition – What is a Presbyterian?

Feb 28:  Serving God by Serving Others

Mar 06: Giving to God – the Stewardship of our lives

Mar 20: Cross Purposes – the Death and Resurrection of Jesus

Apr 03 : Confirmation and Communion – Beginning Again.

Each lesson will be posted online here, so you can check out what the group is doing. We'll also add photographs and events so that parents and mentors can be informed.

The group will also be reading two chapters of the Gospel of Mark for each lesson, with ten questions to answer. Parents are encouraged to read those chapters with their young people and help them to find the answers.

Confirmation is a wonderful process of commitment and faith. Please encourage our young people at church in every way you possibly can.
