ADULTS, YOU ARE THE KEY TO THE CONTINUED FAITH DEVELOPMENT AND THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION OF OUR YOUTH! The only way this experiment will work, is if we have just as many, if not more, adults who are willing to enter into these conversations with our youth and walk as partners with them in their faith journey.

Parish Confirmation Day (ABC Crew) - September 25, 2011
The festivities started September 18 at Emmanuel where Sean and Zach Zinn were Confirmed during worship. The festivities continued Sunday, September 25 at Barren's with our parish service of Affirmation of Baptism Celebration. The Crew (the ABC Crew) planned and led a truly amazing and unique worship experience for our Parish Worship!!! We celebrated all of the work that these wonderful youth and adults have been doing for the past year by inviting them to affirm their baptisms during the service.
The following youth were Confirmed: Kamdyn McKenna Balko, Gage Jonathan Mummert, RaeAnne Nicole Mummert, Arlana Mae Racer, Logan Scott Racer, Emily Kateryn Rodriguez, Josiah Emanuel Stetler, Roy Herben Stetler V (Ben), Paige Elizabeth Tamecki, Kayla Lee Williams, Sean David Zinn, and Zachary Lloyd Zinn. The ABC Crew wouldn't have been possible without the participation of the following adults: Pam Arndt, Dave Arndt, Doug Balko, Melissa Balko, Chandler Carriker, Pastor Naomi Carriker, Deb Fager, Wally Foreman, Dorothy Gerber, Nancy Knol, Jenn Kreider, Mary Lutz, Neil Mummert, Tammy Mummert, Deb Racer, Steve Racer, Mary Jo Rodriguez, Dustin Saltzburg, Amber Shearer, Carl Shearer, Clint Shearer, Diane Shearer, Gail Stetler, Pastor Roy Stetler, Marlene Stiffler, Whitney Trump, Julie Williams, Kevin Zinn, Phil Zinn.
The youth would like to give a special “thanks” to Chandler Carriker for taking the time from his busy schedule to bless us with his musical talents by accompanying our ABC Crew in singing a song he wrote, “Make Me A Disciple” which was the anthem during our service. Thanks also to Amber Shearer for her flute duet, Dawn Grib for playing the organ, and most importantly our Pastors (PastorNaomi and Pastor Roy) and our parents for their patience with us during the past year and in organizing this memorable occasion.
After worship, family and friends continued the celebration over at the church house with a covered-dish meal and the Pastors gave the newly Confirmed youth their Certificate of Affirmation of Baptism, Baptized, We Live booklet, Bulletin, and “I Believe Statements” which were part of the Prayer of Thanksgiving during the service. If you were not able to attend these services, next time you see any of these wonderful youth, don’t forget to congratulate them on their Confirmation. Way to go “Little Blueberries”!!!!
