Welcome our Confirmands!

On Easter morning at the 8:15 am worship service, RCPC will welcome five members of the 2012 confirmation class.  They are:
  • Brannen Davilsaint 
  • Jake Elton 
  • Charlotte Johnson 
  • Charlie Harris 
  • Lucy Travers 
They began this confirmation class in October and have been on two retreats, attended committee meetings, engage in mission work, led worship, written a faith journey, and grown spiritually close to each other.  The concluding assignment was to tie everything together and write a Statement of Faith which captures what it is that they believe.  A faith statement is different than a faith journey, and after completing a season of study, activity and mission with parents, mentors and church staff, confirmands are able to articulate what they believe.

Each day in Holy Week leading up to their confirmation, we will post each confirmand's Statement of Faith.  The teacher of the confirmation class (Richard Aylor, Susan Kessler, and Pastor Josh) also wrote their Statements of Faith, and they will be published on the blog following Easter.  We encourage you to read them and reflect on your own Statement of Faith.  And when you see them on Easter morning, greet them as sisters and brothers in Christ.
