SUMMARY:Peace Circle
DESCRIPTION:Peace Circle is a place of building community\, where the emphasis is listening to others\, responding to prompts or questions that addresses issues of personal concern or places of division and separation in our lives. Some themes that arose in a previous Peace Circle were concerns of health\, mortality and family. For many it was beginning to know others on a deeper level\, without being intrusive. This is a non-cross talk format. In order to allow for adequate personal space\, the group will be limited to 14 participants. \nREGISTER HERE: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4CA4AA2BA0FF2-57319033-peace

SUMMARY:Confirmation Class
DESCRIPTION:Sundays 9:15-10:15am (7-8th Grade) \nConfirmation is the culmination of a two-year process that focuses on building relationships with God\, each other\, and the larger faith community. Class meets on Sunday mornings to discuss theology\, spiritual practices\, and living our faith in the world. It’s a time to eat donuts\, for youth to think critically and ask hard questions while growing in love and relationship with God and neighbor. A key focus is to help youth develop a sense of belonging in the congregation. At the conclusion of the process\, 8th graders are invited to take confirmation vows during Sunday worship. \n  \nEmail Sydney@faithatfirst.com with questions!
