CONFIRMATION MEETING FOR PARENTS

There will be a Parent meeting December 7th following worship to discuss the confirmation class starting January 2009.  This meeting will cover dates for the classes and expectations for the participants.   Any students in grades 8 to 12 who have not been confirmed are welcome to join Central’s confirmation class.  This is a time for deeper exploration of our relationship with God, understanding Jesus, and what it means to be a member of the Presbyterian Church.  Please contact Jennifer Kalas-Dreux at jen@centraldenver.com with any questions.

VOLUNTEER WITH THE YOUTH:

Spring skiing.  Mission work.  Confirmation.  These things are just a small part of the Youth program for 2008-2009.  You can be a part of the wonderful world of Youth ministry.  We are looking for people to hang out with our Youth during their ski weekend in February, and work with them on a weekend mission trip in March.  There are also opportunities to be a teacher for the Youth class on Sunday mornings.  Please contact Jennifer Kalas-Dreux if you are interested in exploring the joys and humor of Youth work with Central’s growing Youth group. 

YOUTH SUNDAYS:

Youth Sundays are on the fifth Sunday of the month.  The youth of Central are key participants in the worship experienced on these days.  They are responsible for ushering, greeting guests and members, organizing and working fellowship hour immediately following service as well as being a participant in the leadership of worship as they take the role of liturgist.  Youth are also integrated into the music experience of worship as they play instruments or sing.
