We are changing the organization of our youth groups in 2018-19. Instead of our Rite-13 and J2A youth groups, we are forming a new "Middle School Youth Group" for 6th-8th graders and a new "High School Youth Group" for 9th-12th graders. Youth group meetings are typically led by a team of three or four adult mentors and normally gather on Sundays after our 10 a.m. worship service, beginning at approximately 11:30 a.m. until approximately 12:45 p.m. We may also schedule some meetings at other times, like Sunday evenings, depending on families' schedules. Other gatherings and/or trips for these groups which may happen on a day other than Sunday as well. All are invited to an informational meeting with our clergy about our youth offerings for the 2018-19 program year on Sunday, August 26th at 11:30 am in the Meeting Room.
An opportunity for Confirmation preparation is offered on an every-other-year basis for young adults who are in at least the 10th grade. If you are interested in confirmation for your teen, please contact the Rev. Jen Vath. The next confirmation preparation for our young adults will be offered during the 2018-2019 program year, with the Rite of Confirmation taking place on May 4, 2019 (time and location TBD). An information session about this year's Confirmation program will take place on Wednesday, September 12, 2018 at 7:00 pm in the Parish Hall.
