Okay, that's all. Just needed to get that little panic out so I can focus on making sure 5 youth get confirmed this Sunday with plenty of fanfare and no crises. :-)
We made it through confirmation last week, so I have plenty of faith that you can do it this week with your group, too! I'll be thinking of you. :) Missed you at Montreat for ARW!
QP--that's an understatement! We have brought in about 50 new members (including confirmands) in the past 20 months. It's a little insane, actually--we don't have room for everyone! But it's awesome! There's a lot of energy here and a lot of ministry going on, so this is an exciting place to be.
Also trying to get five youth confirmed - including two baptized - this Sunday. Not any crises so far, but since this is only my second time of doing it I feel like there are so many little things to remember and I'm worried about them slipping through the cracks.

ReplyDeleteSounds like someone is bucking the membership decline trend.

ReplyDeleteStill trying to figure out how to do confirmation without crisis; wayyyyy too much drama involved, mostly from parents, not the kids.
