The purpose of this program is to invite young people, currently involved with Chalmers United Church, to join an intentional process of faith formation.

This will involve exploring, affirming and claiming faith in a journey that is both individual and part of a group. The program may, or may not, lead a participant to choose confirmation, the rite of the church which signifies full membership in the congregation and The United Church of Canada. In the United Church context, confirmation means the ‘confirming’ of Baptismal vows, which were taken earlier, usually when a person was an infant or a child. Participants who are not baptized are welcome in the program – baptism will be included prior to the act of confirmation for them.

There will be two components to the program.

1. Regular participation in ‘A Place’ Sunday morning program.

2. Participation in four additional program sessions, led by Steven Chambers.

These will take place after the church service and will include lunch. The sessions will conclude by 1:30. These are the dates:

February 3
March 2
April 6
May 4

May 11 will be Confirmation Sunday
