Wednesdays of HOPE is intended for all children and youth entering K-10th+ grade in September of 2024.
K-5th grade students participate in "Faith Adventures" and 6th-10+ (confirmation students may be as old as seniors, depending on their confirmation goal date, and start time! Occasionally, 5th grade youth may begin confirmation at pastor's discretion).
We ask parents/caring adults to:- keep this ministry in their prayers
- regularly check e-mail and messaging platforms for updates
- encourage and support youth in full participation of HOPE's faith formation offerings
- provide feedback on what works and what we're missing
- assist with teaching and leading activities when possible, ideally committing to help at least 1/session
