Faith Is A Journey: Confirmation Service Held at FCC

Thirteen high school aged youth from First Congregational Church participated in the rite of Confirmation during morning worship on June 14.  Following an eight month series of classes with the pastor, these young Christians either confessed their faith through baptism, or "confirmed" the baptism they received as infants or children; through confirmation, all 13 are now full members of our church and are beginning a new part of their journey of Christian faith.  Each recieved a cross as a gift from the church during this milestone event in their lives.  At the service, several of the youth particpated in leading worship, and all joined in a reception during "neighboring" after worship!
