Confirmation

Confirmation Classes

Last Sunday, February 23rd Christian Myers and I met with this year’s confirmands and their parents. We are off to a great start with a class of nine candidates. Amazingly, they are all boys! I anticipate mischief.

The class will meet for five consecutive Tuesdays, April 21st through May 19th, at 7:00pm in Peard House. We will also have a Saturday retreat, perhaps involving canoes, on May 2nd, 9:00am – 3:00pm.

We are looking at a range of resources to help shape the class and discussions. We will focus first on the ministry of Jesus as giving meaning and direction for our own lives. The secondary focus is on Anglican/Episcopal identity and spirituality.

The exact date of the Confirmation service has not yet been determined but it will probably be in late May or June. Please keep the candidates – Briggs, Colton, Branch, Milo, Clay, Wagner, Theo, Chester and Jack in your prayers.
