Confirmation Party!

Wednesday, May 19th from 6 to 7:30 p.m., we are having a confirmation party to close out this year's confirmation studies!

Families and confirmation mentors are invited for thsi potluck event.  Youth also want to watch a video of which we watched a section in class this past Wednesday, Louie Giglio's "Hope When Life Hurts Most."  It is a powerful reminder for young people to hold on to the cross no matter what life (or really Satan) throws at them, and our youth enjoyed the beginning portion of the video so much that they want to watch the whole thing at the party!

Sarah will also prepare superlatives for confirmation youth.

It's going to be a fun time for fellowship and growing together in Christ!
