We hope you all will join us this coming Sunday, September 14th, at 10am, for an extra special Rally Day service to welcome in the new church year. This year’s Rally Day we will not only welcome our children back to Sunday School (Faith Formation), we will also be welcoming confirmands for our first Confirmation Class in many years! We are delighted that so many of our Church Family youth have responded to the call to join the Confirmation Class, confirming their faith in Christ and their desire to join our church. The enthusiasm is as contagious among the adults as it is among the confirmands! Let’s all help them with their journey to becoming a full member of our church!
On Sunday, the Sunday School children will be released after Offertory Prayer. For this first week of Confirmation class, confirmands will remain for the full church service so they can remain alongside our Church Family who will welcome confirmands and begin to teach them the various roles we all play in our church services. Confirmands can expect not to go home empty-handed…a welcome gift surprise awaits each of them!
Following Sunday’s service, join us for a special coffee hour to welcome everyone back! All are welcome, as always! We hope to see you on this special Rally Day, Sunday, September 14th for our kickoff (just in time for football season, right?).
