The Next To Last is here! On Wed, May 4, we have Confirmation in reverse! You'll start in small groups and come up with questions you've always wondered about God, the Bible, faith, church, and things you've been wondering that have come up this year in Confirmation. Then you'll gather in large group and we'll talk through your questions.
