Confirmation 2025

Confirmation - Fall 2025

This fall, we’re excited to offer Confirmation for students 7th grade and older in a brand-new way! To make space for Mrs. Megan’s upcoming maternity leave—and to allow Rev. Latricia, our new head pastor, to help lead the experience—we’re moving this year’s Confirmation to Sunday night Youth Group instead of Sunday mornings. This shift gives us the unique opportunity to walk through Confirmation together as a full youth community, with the support of both our pastoral and youth leadership.

What is Confirmation?

Confirmation is an opportunity for students to explore their faith in a deeper way. They’ll learn about what we believe, why we believe it, and how to apply it to our daily lives. We will discuss United Methodist theology along with other basic Christian beliefs to begin to lay the foundation for students to develop a personal faith of their own. Our goal is to help students build a strong foundation for a personal and lasting relationship with God.

What’s Included?

  • 6 weekly Confirmation Classes

  • A weekend Retreat

  • Beach Night Celebration

  • Confirmation Sunday

Attendance Requirements:

To be confirmed, students are expected to attend All Confirmation Classes and events, including:

  • All 6 weekly classes

  • The weekend retreat

  • Beach Night

  • Confirmation Sunday

We understand that life happens—students may miss one class if absolutely necessary, but that will be required to schedule a make-up session with Megan. Missing more than one class or any of the special events may disqualify a student’s Confirmation this season.

Confirmation Schedule:

Sun, Aug 31st @ 5-7:30pm - Confirmation Class

Sun, Sep 7th @ 5-7:30pm - Confirmation Class

Sun, Sep 14th @ 5-7:30pm - Confirmation Class

Sun, Sep 21st @ 5-7:30pm - Confirmation Class

Sun, Sep 28th @ 5-7:30pm - Confirmation Class

Fri, Oct 3rd @ 5:00pm - Sunday Oct 5th @ 12:30pm - Confirmation Retreat Weekend

Sun, Oct 12th @ 5-7:30pm - Confirmation Class

Thu, Oct 16th @ 6:30-8pm - Beach Night
~ Everyone (whole church, youth group, families, students) is invited to the beach as we baptize students who have decided to take that step in their faith as part of Confirmation. 

~ Plus, we’ll remember our baptisms for everyone who has already been baptized younger or as a baby AND celebrate steps taken in faith by the group.

Sun, Oct 19th - Confirmation Sunday
~ We’ll be celebrating our Confirmation Class at all of the Sunday worship services in the morning AND evening. 

How to Register:

Once registered, additional information and details will be emailed out so that you are well informed for each event scheduled. All students 7-12th grade are welcome to participate. The cost is $70 for the class, which includes the retreat and class supplies. We believe in the importance of Confirmation so we have scholarship assistance available for any reason to students interested.

Scary to Be Hungry
Sep

to Nov 1

Scary to Be Hungry

We have run a scary to be hungry campaign for the past several years in October one of the reasons we do this is October is a very low month at the food bank and they are still serving the same amount of folks and trying to gear up for the holiday rush where they will receive donations but also an uptick in their clients around the holidays. So October is a great month for us to collect those non perishable high protein items and restock the food bank before the holidays arrive. Please bring in your items all month long in October we will have ‘scary’ barrels in  the church lobby and in the marketplace!

Middle & High School Volunteering

What it is: Change 4 Change is a ministry created and run by middle and high school students for over a decade.

Participating in fun events: Throughout the year, we will have fun missional events that utilizes their collections. For example, this December we will be hosting Change 4 Change's annual HEAT Christmas Shopping event! In order to participate in this event, students must volunteer at least 4 times between now and December. If you participate in both Sunday collection shifts during a morning, we'll count that as volunteering 2 times!  Click the button below to sign up!

Socktember

September is becoming SOCKTEMBER here at Anona so we can remember to collect lots of NEW socks for needy students this Fall. Our partners at Clothes to Kids give each student five new pairs of socks (along with five new pairs of underwear and five sets of summer clothes to cover 5 school days of clean clothes). Often families do not have access to washers and dryers during the week so covering five school days is very important! All sizes K-12th grade are needed, no show socks are favorites, darker colors preferred for boys. Collection points in the Main Lobby (yes come visit!) Monetary donations to missions are also much appreciated!

Lenten All-Ages Study

Join us on Wednesday evenings this Lenten season for a time of fellowship, learning, and spiritual growth. The evening begins with an optional, open-house-style dinner, providing an opportunity to connect before we break into age-specific Bible studies. Programs are available for children as young as six months through adulthood, and registration is required.

This year, we’ll explore The Third Day: Living the Resurrection by Tom Berlin. Through compelling storytelling and biblical insight, Berlin brings to life the experiences of those closest to Jesus in his final days. Rather than focusing on loss, this study emphasizes themes of new life and redemption.

Walk alongside Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Thomas as they navigate the sorrow of Jesus’ death and the unexpected joy of his resurrection. We’ll also journey with Paul, the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and others whose lives were transformed by the risen Christ.

Whether you can join us for one night or all five weeks, we welcome you to be part of this meaningful journey toward Easter.

📅 Wednesday Evenings – March 12, 19, 26 & April 2, 9

Lenten All-Ages Study

Join us on Wednesday evenings this Lenten season for a time of fellowship, learning, and spiritual growth. The evening begins with an optional, open-house-style dinner, providing an opportunity to connect before we break into age-specific Bible studies. Programs are available for children as young as six months through adulthood, and registration is required.

This year, we’ll explore The Third Day: Living the Resurrection by Tom Berlin. Through compelling storytelling and biblical insight, Berlin brings to life the experiences of those closest to Jesus in his final days. Rather than focusing on loss, this study emphasizes themes of new life and redemption.

Walk alongside Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Thomas as they navigate the sorrow of Jesus’ death and the unexpected joy of his resurrection. We’ll also journey with Paul, the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and others whose lives were transformed by the risen Christ.

Whether you can join us for one night or all five weeks, we welcome you to be part of this meaningful journey toward Easter.
