Confirmation Class at Alvord is open to all persons, baptized or not, members or not, who wish to learn more about the Christian faith and membership in The United Methodist Church. You will hear more about Confirmation 2001 toward the end of this year, and we'll begin registering the class in January. Confirmation 2000 was a fantastic experience. The youth who participated, along with their parents, adult mentors, and the pastor, grew really close and learned a lot from each other. We also asked lots of questions, wrote a creed, and learned about the Bible and church history.
Confirmation is designed for students no younger than sixth grade.
Other than that, there's no age limit. One option that Mary wants to encourage is for families to take the class together. Another option is for long-time members to enroll in order to refresh their Christian education. Please begin praying now for our next confirmation class. Though there aren't any babies or toddlers at this time, we have every other age group represented, from 3 to 80-something.
