9th Grade

Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024: Confirmation Sunday

Confirmation Day and Entry into High School Ministries
Ninth grade is when we get closer to the Affirmation of Baptism (Confirmation) Day milestone and participation in high school ministries! Ninth graders have learned much and enjoyed their time in Middle School Confirmation (hopefully!) and all of this leads up to Confirmation Day on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024 and High School Ministry after. Here is a quick peek at how the last part of the Confirmation Milestone and High School Ministry is going to look.
