Maybe you're like me and you grew up in a faith tradition that emphasized something called "confirmation." Around here, "The Bridge" is the name we've given to our class that seeks to help teenagers connect their faith in Christ with the mission of God. Last year, almost 20 high school and middle school students completed a thorough and challenging study of the basics of the Christian faith, what it means to be on-mission, and how each of us is gifted to serve God in the world. We looked at all kinds of subjects related to faith - the Bible, authority, decision-making, mentoring, and ethics, to name a few.
This year, we're hoping to gather a new group of teenagers, adult mentors, and families for The Bridge 2013. The class format will be different this year, taking fewer weeks for study and also including a retreat in Crested Butte. Tentative dates for The Bridge are late February through the first Sunday in May. If you or someone you know might be interested in being part of the class or one of our courageous adult mentors, please contact me.
Blessings,
