8th Grade Rite of Affirmation, February 5
On Sunday, February 5 at 9 am we have the Rite of Affirmation opportunity for 8th graders. At age 13 or 14, 8th graders are moving toward independence from their parents. As a faith community our mission is to recognize their steps in faith. This year we have nine 8th grade youth who will participate. This is our opportunity to recognize their growth and our role as a community of supporters and guides on their faith journey, an opportunity for us to gather around our young people to recognize they are growing up and maturing, to support them on their journey.
