Discernment Day
September 24th, 1:00-2:30pm
Along with the Affirmation of Baptism we hold a “retreat” for youth and families called “Discernment Day”. This will be a time for your family to gather and discuss what Affirmation of Baptism means with guided discussion as well as taking time to discuss Faith Statements and what is next in church involvement. More information will be emailed as we near the meeting time.
Remembrance of Baptism Service
Another special service for our confirmands and families is the Remembrance of Baptism Service. Pastor Steve will walk your family through this special service after our Discernment Day meeting.
RSVP FOR DISCERNMENT DAY
Preparations for Affirmation of Baptism
- Faith Statements- sit down with your youth and look over the information for writing a Faith Statement. You can use the booklet to guide your youth through the process.
- Confirmation Bible Verse- Each youth will read their verse at the Affirmation of Baptism worship. The verse is chosen by the youth with the help of the family. Click this link for a list of Bible verses.

We ask each family to RSVP to the Worship of your choice on Sunday morning! There are no limits to each worship, this helps us organize information for the day. If the Sunday time does not work, please mark "other" and we will work with your family and the pastors. Our preferred date is Sunday, October 29th to be in community with your class!
