Activities
Other ActivitiesConfirmationGrowing up in a congregation, students heard the stories of the Bible. Now, as they mature, it is time they understand that in belonging to God, those stories are also their stories, and that they themselves belong to God. Confirmation is a journey into a deeper faith. It is an opportunity for our young people to respond to the grace and love found in baptism, by committing to growing a deeper life-long faith. Confirmation is when our young people begin to ask big questions and pursue the answers together in an inviting and welcoming environment.
Youth SundayYouth Sunday is a very special day in the life of First Presbyterian Church. It usually takes place in May although, the youth begin planning weeks in advance. They work on the order of worship, write liturgy, select music, write prayers and sermons, rehearse over and over again before they actually lead the worship. |
WorshipYouth LiturgistsAn important way for our youth to be involved in the life of First Presbyterian Church is through our Youth Liturgist program. We encourage all of our youth to be involved in and help lead worship on Sunday mornings. When your youth signs up, they will be assigned two or three Sundays a year to help assist the pastor in leading the congregation in worship.
Youth ChoirYouth Choir is open to all youth (grades 6-12). It meets on an occasional basis throughout the school year to consider the intersection of music, worship, and the world; and to prepare to lead worship by lifting voices. This group has a flexible schedule but appreciates active and committed participants. Please contact Joni Brown ( jonibrown@fpcsumter.org or 803-773-3814) if you would like to sing, sing, sing!
Youth HandbellsYouth Handbell Choir is open to all Grades 6-12th. It does require active and regular participation, but the benefits of learning a new form of music, growing in faith, and fellowship with one another all make it well worth the effort. Please contact Joni Brown ( jonibrown@fpcsumter.org or 803-773-3814) if you are/your youth is interested in being a part of this group! No experience is necessary. |
