Important Confirmation Dates:
The Spring Rite of Confirmation is May 11, 2008.
There are two requirements to being confirmed here at St. John’s Lutheran Church. You are asked to do a Faith Share and participate in the 3 hour Faith 101 Class. The Faith Share is a brief witness of faith by the candidate in one of the Church’s worship services. This is done with a biblical reference and after meeting with one of the pastors or the Youth Minister, Steve Terry.
If you have not yet signed up for your Faith Share please do so soon. Don’t forget to meet with a pastor to talk about your faith share, bible passage and understanding of the Rite of Confirmation.
