Welcome!

We are just beginning to get some information about who's who in our confirmation group!

So far, we have eleven youth and five mentors signed up. I'm going to be signing up some more mentors in the next couple of weeks.

In the meantime, be prepared for our Kick-Off Dinner, April 5 @ 5:00 p.m. at the Church, followed by Contemporary Worship at 6 p.m. Please plan to stay for worship, as we will be having a "commissioning prayer" for the confirmands and their mentors at that time.

Here's how the process will work:

After April 5, confirmands and mentors will meet for five sessions (you plan these individually).
The sessions cover: Getting to Know You, Prayer, Presence, Gifts and Service.

We will also meet about once a month (April, May, and June or July) for a field trip to a Jewish Synagogue, Roman Catholic Church, and African-American Church. These field trips will include a meal and an opportunity for some large-group discussion.

The process will end with a retreat (August 8-10), during which we will cover some more topics relating to becoming members of the Church.

I'm really looking forward to this process! I know that all the confirmands we have will make great members of this congregation!

Call the office at (330) 652-1439, or e-mail me at: davidmacdonald@mtsoalum.org if you have any questions.
