CONGREGATIONAL MEETING

Starting this fall, we would like to start a confirmation class for 4 or 5 of our young adults. These classes would be held at the church during regular Sunday School hours for a period of 12 weeks. We have both students’ and teachers’ books. We are looking for at least two volunteers to lead in this confirmation class. We sincerely request your help promoting our young people into the membership of this church. If we are to grow, we need them as they are the future of the church.

This is a very big step for them and for our church. If you are interested, please speak to Becky Ahern, our Sunday School Superintendent.
