“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths.”

Cross.wmf (1830 bytes)Confirmation Education - Confirmation is the personal reaffirmation of the promises made at Baptism; to journey through life with God at our center. 2008-2009 Confirmation Classes have begun with a new, revised program! We meet every Monday night (following the Sachem School District calendar) from 7:00 pm to 8:15 pm. If you are in 7th, 8th or 9th grade and have not registered, please see Tom Moldovan. There is a registration fee of $35 for each Level. Checks should be made payable to Holy Cross (HCLC). Level 1 students will be provided with a Bible, Level 2 and 3 students - if you cannot find your Bible, we have them on sale in the bookstore. Check your e-mail for additional info on events, class cancellations due to weather, and activities.

 

Confirmation is celebrated in the Spring on Palm Sunday for students completing all three levels of Confirmation classes.

Confirmation News

 

SAFETY PICK-UP INSTRUCTIONS - Parents - Please park and come into the church to pick up your children. We have a very busy parking lot, and as the evenings grow darker it can be difficult to see. We do not want anyone to get hurt.

 

 

CONFIRMATION T-SHIRTS... Each teen participating in our Confirmation Program gets one, FREE. They are to be worn when we do activities. You may wear them at any other time too. Parents you may purchase one at CrossWords & Gifts. Anyone, in fact, may purchase one. They say DISCIPLE, come in black and are very “in” or very “kool.” By the way they fit really well too.!

 

 

 

 

Meal Madness Has Begun Again Too!... Monday nights at 6:15 pm downstairs in the Fellowship Hall!!! Confirmation students and their families are invited to come, hang out and enjoy a chance to settle in, have something hot to eat, do homework, let the kids socialize a little and catch their breath before class. Meals could be hamburgers, English muffin pizzas, hot dogs, macaroni, etc. The food is good, we get a large turnout of kids looking to eat and hang out and the food is free! Meal Madness is held downstairs in the Fellowship Hall and begins at 6:15 pm every Monday night when class is in session. Hope you join us! Parent volunteers are always welcome, too. We could also use the usual food donations (taco shells, spaghetti, hot dogs and rolls, tomato sauce, soda, ice tea, etc) for anyone who wants to donate. Thank you!

 

CONFIRMATION PARENT FORUM - Now Ongoing!!!... If your child is in our Confirmation program you are being invited to attend a Forum with Pastor Raggie to discuss the program, see what your concerns are for your child in their everyday life and what you need help with in your spiritual journey. We’ll get to know each other, laugh together and learn together. Originally intended for a length of 3 weeks, Pastor’s Parent Forum has been extended to “Ongoing” status at the request of the parents. The Parent Forum is held each Monday night that Confirmation classes are in session, at the same time that class is held (7:00 to 8:15 pm).

 

Casting Crowns Car Wash Fundraiser... for the Confirmation kids was a huge success. They washed lots of cars and received many great free-will offerings. These monies are going to help defray the costs of the Casting Crowns Concert they are attending in December. Here are some pics of our teens and leaders scrubbing autos to raise $$$ toward our trip.
