BBQ Pork
Baked Beans Cole Slaw Chips, Bread, Pickles, Dessert Served "family-style" following the 11:00 a.m. Service and available in "to-go plates" following the 9:30 Bridge Service. Proceeds benefit a multitude of mission projects of Salem UMC, including Mission Trips! The Salem Seniors were scheduled to make a day trip to the Biblical History Center in LaGrange, GA on Thursday, March 23, 2017. However, the center booked up to maximum capacity and we were not able to secure reservations. We anticipate rescheduling this outing to the Fall of 2017, when perhaps there will be less crowds (due to it not being Lent!).
At any rate, this is a good lesson that it is always helpful for each of us to sign up for events EARLY in the process, so that we'll help those preparing for the event!  Confirmation is the event in which a person who has already been baptized as an infant or child claims for him/herself their faith in Christ. Those who were not baptized earlier would be baptized (rather than confirmed). Confirmation Classes provide the setting for a young person to consider the tenets of the Christian faith and to decide are they ready to make a public profession of their faith — choosing to place their trust in, and to follow, Christ.
Confirmation Classes will begin January 29 and will be a part of the regular UMYouth session, 5-7 p.m. on Sunday evenings. These classes will prepare the confirmands and will reinforce the discipleship of those who have already been confirmed. The dates for the classes are 1/29, 2/5, 2/26, 3/5, 3/26 and 4/2. All 6th – 12th graders are welcome. |
