Congratulations to the recent
confirmands on becoming new members of Roselle UMC!!
May God bless you on your journey.
Purpose
At Roselle
UMC our main goal through confirmation is to help youth
make commitments to become disciples of Jesus Christ, and to instill in them
what it means to be a faithful and committed member of the Church.
Our class
is offered to all eighth graders. If you are interested in participating in
Confirmation next year, please contact
Joyce Kiepura, at (630) 529-1309 or
joyce@roselleumc.org.
Classes
will begin in November, more information coming soon.
Confirmands
cannot miss more than 3 classes. They are allowed to make up a missed class.
Confirmands must be present for all other classes and all other
requirements. Each student is expected to be at each class
meeting, except in case of illness. If there is to be an absence, Rev. Wes is
to be notified in advance. Unexpected absence may result in extra assignments
or dismissal from the class.
Confirmands must bring to each class: A Bible and a journal with pen
or pencil.
Worship
Confirmands are asked to
attend Sunday worship a minimum of 3 times each month. If you cannot make it to
three in one month, you must make it up in other months. Please make
sure confirmand's name is on the attendance page as we will be checking them.
Worship
Assistants
Each family must sign up for one Sunday morning worship
service. Please inform the ushers that your family will collect the
offering. The confirmand will then have the choice of either: 1) Reading
Scripture, 2) Leading Children's Time or 3) Music Ministry.
Youth Group
Each
confirmand is encouraged to attend Junior High Youth Group (Sundays 5:00 to
6:15 p.m.)
Service Projects
Each confirmand must participate in
PADS at least once on
a Monday evening or Tuesday morning and in at least 2 other service
projects. Confirmands will write a one-page, double-spaced paper on their
projects. This paper will be in Times New Roman 12-pt. font, with regular
1-inch margins.
