Newman UCC New Program
What does a church do during a pandemic? Well, if that church is Newman UCC, we create new programming... programming you may have been looking for. Launching on September 20 is a new Faith Formation program for those between the ages of 13 and 113. (Although honestly, if someone who is 114 wants to join in... we will let them) We are calling it Faith-FULL Affirmations, though some may call it “Confirmation For All Ages.” Others may even call it “Membership Classes.” And you know what? They would all be right. Our new program, Faith-Full Affirmations is a “Confirmation”style program for adults AND youth. It is for anyone seeking membership into the church as well as those who are looking to strengthen their knowledge of the Bible, faith practices and what it means to belong. Faith-FULL Affirmations is a three-module program which will be offered on Sunday mornings at 9am using the Zoom platform. You are invited to participate in one module, two modules, or all three if you’d like. Each module is scheduled for five (5) consecutive Sunday mornings. Here›s the schedule: Bible Boot Camp - September 20 - October 18 Beliefs & Belongings - November 1 - 29 Faith Practices - January 3 – 31 If you would like to participate, contact Pastor Timoth Sylvia at 401-434-4742 ext. 11. For those seeking to use Faith-FULL Affirmations as a gateway to membership, you must complete two modules, one of which must be Beliefs & Belongings. Any youth participating in Faith-FULL Affirmations as a “Confirmation” program are required to have an adult participate alongside them.
