After two years of work, four young members of the congregation were confirmed at the 10:30 AM service on September 12, 2010. These young people became adult members of St. Mark's with all the rights and responsibilities that follow their commitment.

Confirmation 2012 Students being confirmed in their faith were: Theoron Hershey, son of Trish and Jeff Hershey, Lou DeSeau, mentor; Max Hospes, son of Vicki and Richard Hospes, Steve Eyer, mentor; Katelyn Lauer, daughter of Mike and Traci Elliott, Vicki Haussmann, mentor; and Hannah Lynn, daughter of Robert and Kristin Lynn, Cindy Huff, mentor. The confirmation process at St. Confirmation 2010 Mark's involves close interaction between the confirmands and a mentor, who works with the student and provides moral support a good example. Thanks to the mentors.

In Confirmation, those being confirmed recognize and affirm the baptism they received as children and take personal responsibility for living out the promises their parents made at their baptism. Confirmands profess their faith and make promises before God to love, trust and serve God and Christ. As an adult member of Christ's family, confirmands express their intentions to live among God's faithful people, attend to God's worship, and show the Gospel in lives of faithful service.

Confirmation 2010 After the service, all were invited for snacks and drinks in Fellowship Hall, presented by the families of the confirmands.

The confirmands were offered the congratulations of the congregation and their families. Please pray for them and encourage them on the occasion of this important step in their lives.
