Lenten Mentoring

Middle School Confirmation students have been asked to identify someone to be a mentor to them for the season of Lent to worship together and share in 1-on-1 conversations. Mentoring pairs will meet five (5) times between March 5 and April 16.

Why are we doing Lenten Mentoring?

  1. We want all of our youth to know that they are cared about and supported by not just one, but LOTS of adults.
  2. Learning to talk about what we believe and building up a faith vocabulary and comfort is something we have to DO and PRACTICE.
  3. Being confirmed in the church means being part of the church community, and mentoring gives an opportunity for everyone involved to be seen, cared for, and known.

We need volunteers who care about kids growing in their faith!

If for any reason a student isn’t able to find a mentor, they can choose to be matched with a volunteer mentor from the congregation. This is where you come in! Volunteer mentors make it possible for us to give every single confirmation student a mentor so they can have this awesome experience.

Mentor Orientation (mentors only) on either Sunday, Feb. 16 @ 1:00 pm or Wednesday, Feb. 19 @ 6:00 pm.

Mentoring Kick-Off (students AND mentors) on Wednesday, February. 26 during their confirmation hour.
