Many of us were baptized as babies. As part of the service, our parents made public professions of faith on our behalf. As young persons reaching the age of accountability, we are ready to take more responsibility for our own faith. Confirmation is a call to discipleship, a call to claim the name “Christian” for ourselves. It may also involve the Sacrament of Baptism for those who have yet to receive it.
Those persons currently enrolled in seventh through ninth grade (though those parameters are flexible) are invited to begin this Confirmation journey together. Through a series of 8 mid-week gatherings and some field trip experiences (yeah-Road Trip!), we will explore the Christian faith, United Methodism, and our own church, Lafayette Park UMC. We will foster our faith through sharing and learning together, the practice of spiritual disciplines, and participating in the wider community of faith.
If you are interested in taking the Confirmation journey this year, contact Pastor Sharon at 566-0332 or lpassociate@sbcglobal.net. We will begin in January.
