A Confirmation Information Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 23, 2022 at 11:15 am. All interested 9th-12th grade youth, and their parents, are invited to attend in-person at RHUMC or via ZOOM.
Confirmation 2022:
Youth will confirm their faith and become baptized, professing members of the church during worship on May 15, 2022. The day before youth and parents/families will gather for brunch and a time of sharing/celebration followed by a rehearsal of the confirmation ceremony.
Classes, mentoring, and a pathway of spiritual growth will prepare each youth for Confirmation Sunday.

Mentoring:
Youth will hear from congregation members who will share about their faith journeys at the beginning of each class. Kristin, the Director of Youth Ministries, will be in weekly contact with youth to track progress and to offer support and guidance throughout the process. Youth are encouraged to interview other adults in their lives about their faith journeys as well.
Spiritual Growth:
Each young person’s pathway will be unique and can be tailored to interests and schedule. Guidance will be provided by a point system. Each member of the confirmation group needs to document their pathway, either by keeping a written log or by sending a selfie to Kristin at the completion of each chosen activity. Please consult with Rev. Kristin Sutrave or Rev. April Herron along the way with questions or needs for assistance.
