Six Sundays:
January 11, 25 February 1, 8 March 1, 8 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Lunch included. Confirmation is a faith milestone for 8th - 12th grade students as they explore faith, ask questions in a safe environment, and seek to actively explore their own faith journey. Each time we meet, we’ll engage in activities, discussion, and a lesson that helps to illuminate important topics of faith: What is the church? What is God like? Does it matter that Jesus rose from the dead? How was the Bible written and why should I even trust it?Zoom Prayer Group: Join Us in Prayer for Atfaluna and Gaza
