Wow, what a great celebration (233 in attendence) we had yesterday during the 9:30 worship service as 17 of our young men and women were confirmed (3 were also baptized) and took the vows of membership to join the Mulvane UMC. I am very proud of these kids as they worked hard in class for these past 13 weeks, doing weekly homework, learning Scripture verses, learning the books of the Bible, memorizing the Apostle's creed, and growing in their understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. It was a great time together!
I want to thank Kit for assisting me each week and also all the mentors who attended the class and met individually with the kids. Your help was invaluable. Also thanks to those who provided meals each week. Great stuff. And of course, thanks to the parents for your support as well.
It was such a joy to see God work in the lives of these youth these past several months. And then to see God do His thing during our worship time yesterday - wow! It was awesome!! So congratulations to the youth. May God bless you and grow you into the spiritually mature men and women He wants you to be.
