Unless otherwise indicated,
 Confirmation Class takes place on
Mondays at 4:00pm,
and on Tuesdays at 4:00pm and 5:15pm
in Smith Hall. Please arrive promptly.

Following is a tentative schedule for the topics for confirmation classes on Mon/Tue afternoons.  This is going to be an exciting year with new projects, visits to the New Canaan Food Pantry and other local sites, and inventive new games for learning the fundamentals of faith.

That is to say, the topics will likely change, so please continue to check back at this page for all the updates!
