Confirmation for the FALL: 
Our Confirmation Program is for 7th, 8th and 9th Graders.  This Confirmation year will consist of Lessons from the Old Testament, some Small Group Gatherings, A Confirmation Retreat or two, and meeting in Lenten Mentoring Groups in the Spring. We start in the Sanctuary for a Large Group Lesson, and then break into smaller groups by Grade with our Confirmation Guides for Discussion or Activities. 

​Our 2018 Mission Trip to the Adirondack Mountains is complete! The kids really bonded with the folks in the area, and did a lot of work in Community Gardens, farms, and Houses. We want to THANK the SPL congregation for their support, and hope you can come and hear our stories on Sunday September 23rd, Mission Trip Sunday.

CONFIRMATION is a public profession of faith prepared for by long and careful instruction. It is called "affirmation of baptism", and is a mature and public reaffirmation of the faith which "marks the completion of the congregation's program of confirmation ministry". We celebrate with a special service which is primary led by the newly confirmed students.
