Mission Trip News At the end of Winter Break this year our High School students, in conjunction with other local church youth groups will be going to New York city to work with Youth Service Opportunities Project (www.ysop.org). The YSOP organization is designed for youth programs to come to the city and serve in soup kitchens in various capacities. For more information contact the church office.
We're off to the Dominican Republic again!! After a very successful trip last summer we will return to Luperon again, June 29- July7, 2010 Village Mountain Mission, Dominican Republic: This trip will be held from June 29 to July 7. We will be going to the mountain villages of Puerto Plato province, where the wealthy never go, tourists are rare, and the need is great. Our goal is to repair or replace the home of a poor, sick, or elderly family who physically, financially or otherwise cannot do so themselves. The family will be left with a home that is cool, dry and secure. Check out their web site @ www.villagemountainmission.org. |

Confirmation
High school students!! Many churches have a tradition of a
Confirmation ceremony through which youth join the church. You
may have been present at one of those services and you know how
meaningful they are. We would like to extend an invitation to
you to consider this opportunity to join the First
Congregational Church of Madison. If you would like to be included in the next Confirmation ceremony, along with other activities to be announced, you will need to . . 1) Be part of the Senior High Youth Group - The youth group is planning a program of meetings, fun events and service projects that will keep you involved in the church and help you get to know the other youth of the church. Currently, these meetings take place on Sunday evenings (dinner usually included). To know when and where they happen, leave your e-mail address with the church office. 2) Come to worship on Sunday mornings. You will be promising to make this a habit. You will also plan and participate in Sunday morning worship services. 3) Participate in at least one mission project sponsored by the youth group. 4) Write a statement of faith that includes the following: What you believe about God. What you believe about Jesus Christ. What you believe about the Holy Spirit. What you believe about the church. 5) Attend a brief series of meetings designed to help you understand our particular church and the United Church of Christ. Contact Rev. Nichols to indicate you interest - jcn@snet.net |
