Scarsdale Congregational Church

Confirmation Class

Education, 2002-2003 Curriculum

Confirmation Class is a one year program for eighth graders taught by the Ministers. Through discussions, Bible study and special events, students have the opportunity to focus their religious beliefs while gaining a wider view of the role of religion in our culture. (These pictures were taken at a class in January 2003.) 

Here is the curriculum and requirements for the 2002-2003 class.

In past years the class attended services in other houses of worship, visited a funeral home, undertook service projects, explored the history of Judaism, Catholicism, the Reformation and Protestantism, and the United Church of Christ. As interest arose, it also touched on Islam and eastern religions as well. Members also helped with the life of the church such as helping with the Family Fair, Family Christmas Service, Maundy Thursday, and Family Easter Service.

Classes are Tuesday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00 PM and begin with a light supper provided by a member of the class. Members are expected to attend every class in addition to attending 12 Sunday worship services during the year.

Those who choose to become members at the completion of Confirmation Class covenant with the church and are welcomed into membership at a Sunday morning worship service created by them and their classmates.

Please call Phil Washburn at 914-723-2111 or contact him by e-mail if you would like to discuss and/or enroll in Confirmation.
