Alternate Worship Site Visit
On Oct. 30 the confirmation group visited Fairmount Community Church, United Church of Christ, to participate in their worship service. After worship the group engaged in a question and answer time with Pastor Gary Ferner in which they discussed similarities and differences between our theology and our worship practices. On Jan. 29 the confirmation group will be visiting a Greek Orthodox Church in Syracuse.
Feel free to engage the group with questions about their experiences.

this blessing to the residents and to Beth Healy for finding and implementing this opportunity
