After two years of work, four young members of the congregation were confirmed at the 10:30 AM service on September 9, 2012. These young people became full members of St. Mark's with all the rights and responsibilities that follow their commitment.

Confirmands being congratulated after the service Students being confirmed in their faith were: Morgan Comini, Ezra Buckman and Anna & Laura Zeigler. Morgan's mentor was Kirk Owen Ezra's mentor was Nick Buckman, Laura's mentor was Karen Boone and Anna's mentor was Lou Ann Zeigler.

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.

Cake The confirmation process at St. 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.

Hospitality was provided by the parents and mentors for the congregation and was held in Fellowship Hall.
