Save the dates for 2023-2024

Ascension Sunday in 2024 is May 11. This is the outline for preparing a group of youth confirmands from February 2023 to May 2024. Confirmands:

• Receive a complete Binder in January 2023, with all the notes, assignments and final exam included. Confirmands also receive a Bible / Journaling book.
• Gather for 9 Sunday lunchtime sessions plus a night-away retreat at Laurelville on Friday April 12 (two Fridays after good Friday in 2024).
• Have two mentors (4 sessions each) whom they meet before the Sunday sessions to work on set assignments.
• Undertake a capstone ministry project with a mentor during the summer of 2023 as well as completing a summer reading assignment.
