Confirmation for 7-12 graders will be offered through the youth ministries department at Dunwoody United Methodist Church. We will be beginning an Older Youth Confirmation Experience in January. This class is being held for those who wish to join the church but have not yet participated in Confirmation.

There will be seven sessions and a retreat April 16-18, 2010 at Lake Junaluska, NC. Each session will last for 45 minutes. The sessions will take place in the Youth Area on Wednesday evenings from 5:00-5:45. The first session will be Wednesday, January 6th for youth and their parents 5:00-5:45! The remaining sessions for youth are as follows:

• Jan. 13 - 5:00-5:45 What do I believe? History & Doctrine
• Jan. 20 - 5:00-5:45 All About DUMC
• Jan. 27 - 5:00-5:45 Grace and the Means of Grace
• Feb. 3 - 5:00-5:45 DUMC Tour
• Feb. 10 - Creeds
• Feb. 17 - 5:00-5:45 The United Methodist Church and Me
• Mar. 3 - 5:00-5:45 What’s in the name?
• Mar. 10, 17,& 24 - 5:00-5:45 The Trinity
• Apr. 16-18 - retreat at Lake Junaluska

We highly recommend the retreat; however, if you cannot attend the retreat we will offer a 3-hour make up session TBA. Upon completion of the confirmation sessions and the retreat, youth will be confirmed during worship on Sunday, April 25th. Youth will be required to attend a confirmation banquet and rehearsal Saturday, April 24th at 6:30pm.

Confirmation is a valuable experience leading up to acceptance of personal faith development and church membership for youth. This class will be an enlightening and educational time for exploring faith, Christianity and the United Methodist Church.
