April 5th will be our kick-off dinner for confirmation 2008! Parents, Mentors and Confirmands will all join together for a night of fellowship, information sharing, and worship. Mentors are invited to bring enough food to share for themselves, their confirmands, and parents. After dinner, we will attend Contemporary Worship at 6 p.m. in the Chapel.
Our first field trip is tentatively scheduled for April 11. We will travel to Congregation Rodef Sholom in Youngstown to observe a Jewish Shabbat (Sabbath) service. The service starts at 8 p.m., but we will meet at the church at 5:30, so we can go to dinner beforehand. At that time, we will discuss the Jewish heritage of the Christian faith.
I look forward to working with all of you this spring and summer! God bless you as you prepare for the important step of becoming members of this congregation and The United Methodist Church!
Yours in Christ,
Pastor David

P.S.-- When I get back from vacation, we should have the mentor/confirmand lists finalized, so I will be publishing who is mentoring who in my next post!
