Confirmation 2012-2013

Hello to all confirmation students and parents, confirmation is just around the corner! There is an information meeting for all students and parents Monday August 13th at 7 pm in the Fellowship Hall of Immanuel. We will be discussing the changes coming to the confirmation program in detail. The changes to the program were made after much discussion between the Pastors and elders. Our hope and belief is that the program will be stronger and that the students will benefit greatly in many ways. As with any change, people are often uncomfortable. We hope  the 8th commandment guides your response and that you will be able to put the best construction on our efforts, trusting that we have made the changes for the better. Patience will be key as we work out the kinks in the new system and feedback that is constructive and respectful will always be appreciated. We are looking forward to the new year and the exciting things that will happen. God is at work in our lives and Confirmation will be a place that faith is nurtured and grown. To God be the glory!
