Confirmation: Tough Questions The Confirmation class for 6th - 9th grade students will be starting a “Tough Questions” unit when we return from winter break. The first “Tough Question” will be: “Is it a sin to think about sex?” This class will take place on Sunday, January 12 at 10:00am. Studies show that young people begin to think about such things during the “tween” years of older elementary. The Youth Ministry Team believes it is important for the church to be a part of this conversation early, giving young people a healthy framework as they enter into their teen years. If you would prefer your child not participate in this particular class, they may stay with you in worship on that Sunday. If you have any questions about the first “Tough Question” or about the “Tough Questions” unit for Confirmation, please speak with Pastor Kris: kris@cpctoledo.org
