Our focus for 2025-26 is the Greek (New) Testament stories, the 10 Commandments, the Lord’s
Prayer, and Confirmation Students are actively participating in Worship and community service. New

plan and carry out a project that will serve our community.
Class officially begins this year with a gathering during education hour on Sunday, September
7, and lunch with youth and parents after Worship on Sunday, September 14. Contact Pastor
Meagan for information!
