Hey everyone!
Fusion CONFIRM Registration is in full swing and we are excited.
As retreat participants, Confirmands will:
Experience and better understand the connectional aspect of The United Methodist Church.
Learn about the biblical call stories of young people -- like Ishmael, Samuel, and Mary -- and reflect on and articulate their own story of how God may be calling them to be Christ bearers
Learn about relational and contextual models of mission outreach -- SERVICE; to help them gain better understanding of the perspectives of their "neighbors".
Grow in the understanding and practice of the ministry of PRESENCE, as they learn about their unique giftedness and belonging in the Body of Christ and the importance of their participation in it.
Learn about and reflect on the practice of tithing, the membership vow of offering one's GIFTS, and how they might integrate these into their own lives.
Learn about and practice a variety of ways to pray, considering which may be most meaningful for them and how they can use PRAYERS more often to grow closer to God and in their own faith and discipleship
Reflect on their personal skills, abilities, giftedness and how they are ministers and part of the Body of Christ; reflect on how they can live out their next steps as a member of that Body.
Consider how their participation in the Body (through local church and denominational involvement/support) as confirmed members both strengthens their discipleship and bears WITNESS to the Gospel, as others (in the community/world) see them love God, love others, and love one another.
We hope to see you there!!!
