Confirmation 2010

We welcomed six young people into our membership yesterday. They have been engaged in study throughout the winter and spring. They endured their meeting with the Session last week and were formally welcomed at FirstLight worship; they helped lead worship again at 11AM. I am pleased to say that four of them are active musicians: Dow (sax) Thomas (trumpet) and Caleb (baritone horn) all play in middle school band; Madison sings in school chorus and with the Prophets. Cheers!
