Program Overview:
The Rite of Confirmation is an important part of church life. Hope United Church of Christ believes that, if a person is baptized, Confirmation is the final act of entering into full adult membership.
Classes held on Wednesday evenings from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Classes will last approximately 1 ½ hours
Confirmands are required to participate as a Lay Reader and will recite their Statement of Faith on the day they are scheduled to Lay Read prior to Confirmation Day. Appropriate dress code is encouraged for these occasions.
It is highly recommended that Confirmands attend Maundy Thursday service.
Rite of Confirmation happens during the 10:15 a.m. worship service, where the Confirmands will be welcomed into full church membership and to be united through Communion into the Body of Christ.
In case of severe weather, listen to Radio Station LAKES 92.7 for cancellations or Rule of Thumb: if school is cancelled, so will Confirmation Class. Make up day will be TBD.
Parents/Guardians Expectations and Involvement throughout the year:
Hope’s Safe Conduct Policy and Guidelines are strictly enforced. A parent/parent rep or guardian MUST be present at each session at all times. We ask that each parent/parent rep or guardian schedule a day that is most convenient.
A parent/parent rep or guardian must read and agree with the Safe Conduct Policy and Guidelines. The Safe Conduct Covenant sheet must be signed and returned to the Pastor and/or church office as soon as possible.
A Candidate Information Form also needs to filled out and returned as soon as possible.
It is our hope that Confirmands will continue an active church involvement serving not only as a Lay Reader, but to participate in special events/programs, assist the Sunday school leaders as a Youth Advisor/Assistant or assisting the Ushers on Sunday.
