Confirmation classes for youth who are 12 years of age or older will begin on February 12. Father Binder will be teaching the youth classes this year. The classes will be held on Sundays, 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm, in classrooms A and B. For the students who attend EYC at 6:30 pm, there will be a light supper served during the half hour time between class and EYC.

On Sunday, February 12, the 5th – 12th grade students will be visiting the Fairfax and Westminster retirement homes to deliver Valentine Bud vases. The bud vases will be sold during the coffee hours on January 28 and February 5. The cost is $6.00 for a Valentine card and a beautiful bud vase. Vases and cards can be purchased for a specific person or as a surprise for someone at the Fairfax. Once again, Kelley Perconti has volunteered to arrange the flowers, which she does so beautifully. She has been very kind to take on this task for the past five years!

During the month of February, the preschoolers through fourth graders will continue with their Godly Play studies. At this time they are studying the Parables. The 5th – 12th grade students continue to study the Living the Good News Curriculum, which is a study of the weekly lectionary. If anyone would like to review the curriculum, please contact Frances Sessums at 703-339-6572.
