Youth Fellowship

The Junior/Senior High Youth Group meets twice a month.  Usually, these meeting are at the church, but sometimes they are elsewhere.

Meetings can include a time for checking in, sharing food, and focusing on an activity.  Activities are fun, may nurture the spirit, and may serve our neighbors in need.  There is also a 10 to 15 minute Pow-wow session during coffee hour to reflect on group activities past and future.  Look for planned activities and other updates in the Young Disciples Bell.  Additionally, information may be found on the “Youth” bulletin board in Ford Hall.

Confirmation Class

Every few years, Niles Congregational Church offers a Confirmation Class for youth (and adults if they are interested) to prepare them to make a choice about taking on the responsibilities of being a disciple of Jesus.  For people who were baptized as babies, this means reaffirming their baptism and taking on the responsibilities of the baptismal vows made for them by their parents through the rite of confirmation.  For people who have not been baptized, this means being baptized and taking on the responsibilities of the baptismal vows through the rite of confirmation.

       The next Confirmation Class will probably be offered during 2011-12 school year.  It will be for youth (and any adults who want to participate) who are eighth graders and older.  The class will be taught primarily by Pastor Jeff Spencer.  If you have a youth in your family who might be interested in participating (or if you are interested yourself), please let Pastor Jeff know.
