Confirmation Sunday On Sunday, April 20th, eighteen students will be confirmed at the 10:30 a.m. worship service. They are Connor Anderson, Landon Bartholomew, Blaire Bledsoe, Ryan Bradley, Caroline Cooper, Hunter Druhan, Yates Floyd, Joseph Gordon, Sophie Lower, Anna Morgan, Daniel Nichols, Will Norton, Cole Slade, Logan Snell, Sarah Stark, Jordan Steed, Ryan Townsend and Ashley Wyrick What an exciting year it has been! These students have prepared for their confirmation through weekly classes, trips to worship with other denominations, a retreat, mission projects, feeding Randy Sams and Junior Youth Fellowship on Sunday evenings. Pastor Danny Wayman led the study retreat and Susan and Roger Waldrep conducted classes for the nine weeks prior to Confirmation. The Confirmands will become a part of the United Methodist Youth Fellowship for seventh through twelfth grades on Sunday, May 6th. During the Sunday School hour, Lisa Pearlman has been teaching them. Leading the 5th and 6th grades on Sunday evenings at Junior Youth Fellowship are Joe and Bettie Lynn Stark. Sixth graders and their families appreciate the dedication and leadership of each person. On April 22nd, we will all celebrate this important time in the lives of each family as the confirmands are welcomed into full membership.

Children’s Choirs Sing at Missions Lunch The children’s choirs are eager to participate in the Youth Missions Lunch on Sunday April 15 right after church. Our songs are all themed around helping people. We have some exciting soloists lined up, and the kids are chiming in on a couple of songs all their own. If your child has participated in Alive @ Five, I expect them to stay and help us with this event. Parents can buy a ticket for lunch in the Youth Center while the kids will eat separately in the parlor. It will be a great day in the life of this church!!
