9th GRADE FAITH FORMATION
Fall 2023
Welcome to 9th grade, as we get closer to your Affirmation of Baptism (Confirmation) Day Milestone! You’ve learned much and enjoyed your time in 6/7/8 Confirmation (hopefully!) and all of this leads up to Confirmation Day on Oct. 29, 2023 and High School ministry after. Here is a quick peek at how your Confirmation Milestone and High School ministry is going to look this fall:
Dates to know:
- Now: We will ask all new 9th graders to register. Click the register button above.
- Sept. 13 – 9th Grade Dinner Church/Parent-Confirmand Overview: Dinner Church begins with food at 5:30 PM, Worship at 6 PM, and an overview of Confirmation Day from 6:30 – 7:30 PM. This gathering is for parents and Confirmands to get up-to-speed on the whole Confirmation process.
- Sept. 20 – Help Out on Wednesday nights: Volunteer to be of service in the gym with the little kids, helping set up Dinner Church, or even sit in as a High School helper in a Confirmation Small group.
- Sept. 20 – High School Group Begins: You are invited each Wednesday night from 7:45 – 8:30 PM for a drop-in gathering in the Youth Center. Sometimes Bible Study, sometimes other discussions, sometimes games, who knows! Additional HS Ministry events are also in the works.
- Oct. 1 Meeting (required): We plan to have an important gathering to have some offsite fun together, as well as talk about Confirmation Day. Dinner included. A 6 PM start and 9 PM finish.
