Affirmation is our small group for senior high teenagers who are looking for a way to go deeper. We meet by candlelight during the academic school year on the second and fourth Tuesdays, 7:30pm-9:00pm, in the Youth Room. All discussion is kept confidential and each session ends with a prayer and a promise to each other, ourselves, and God.
Our discussions range in topics from school and friends to world events and exploring ways to practically live our faith. We do service projects, go on retreats, plan and lead Sunday morning worship services, go out for dinner, watch videos, and above all else, do our best to share and listen freely to each other in this tight-knit group.
If you're looking for a supportive community outside of your school, sport, or activity friends, this may be a good fit for you.   | Affirmation Calendar
