On the weekend of May 4th and 5th, we came together as a community to celebrate five eighth graders — Sarah Debner, Noah Hinderaker, Delaney Shirbroun, Evan Smyth, and Kaitlyn Terry — as they took a significant step in their faith journey. These young adults, surrounded by their families and friends, stood before the congregations on both Saturday and Sunday. They not only professed their faith but also led us in prayer and read the weekend texts. After the service Sunday, all attendees gathered in the Commons, continuing the celebration of this faith milestone with a delicious cake with Saturday service providing cake for our confirmands as part of Café Bethesda.
