2012 MUMC Council on Ministries Video

Many of you were not able to come to the 2012 Council on Ministries Planning Retreat. During the retreat, Chris McCullough and Beth Todd (the new COM co-Chairs) showed a fun and though-provoking video that I want to share with you. Please take a look and think about how you would answer the question: "What does "CHURCH" mean to you?"

CONFIRMATION
Posted January 18, 2012, 2:07 pm

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19
10 AM
BOY SCOUT ROOM (CEC 102)

Confirmation Classes will begin on February 19 with a parent's meeting at 10 AM in the Boy Scout Room. This first meeting will be a short orientation about the process of Confirmation.

Confirmation refers to the moment in a person's life when they confirm the steps of faith that were begun at their baptism. Since many United Methodists are baptized as infants, they had no opportunity to claim their faith in their own voice. Confirmation is that opportunity, to publicly profess their faith before the Church. This process is open to all youth, 6th grade and older. For more details and a schedule for this year's Confirmation Classes, check out the brochure HERE.

If you have questions, please contact Rodney (336) 472-7718.
