2026-04-26 18:00 - 19:30, 2026-04-19 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Detroit)

Youth Confirmation

Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a Bishop. At St. Francis in the Fields, preparation for confirmation is open to all who are baptized and will at least in the 8th grade in the 2025-26 school year. If you would like to seek out confirmation, we ask that you commit to a process of instruction and formation that includes a year-long confirmation class held during the Sunday school hour each week.

The Big Story
2026-04-26 10:15 - 11:00, 2026-04-19 10:15 - 11:00
This year in Sunday School, our Middle Schoolers will walk through the whole Bible from start to finish. They will get to know God’s great story for all of creation and how they are a part of it! The Bible can be intimidating and overwhelming. By opening our Bibles each week and looking at each book from a 30,000ft view, we hope that the Bible will be less of “that really big book,” and more of “my constant companion” and “the big story that is my story.” Join us in the Vicarage on Sunday mornings from 10:15 to 11:00 a.m.
