CONFIRMATION:  Sunday, May 5

​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.
