an ongoing effort
to provide support and relevant education for parents and their
students, FPCB
has invited FCD Educational Services, a nonprofit organization that provides substance abuse prevention
education, to join us to provide three different workshops –
one for
parents, one for 11th and 12th graders and one
workshop
for younger students.
We are
aware that drug and alcohol availability and use among teens and
pre-teens in
our community is high. Parental involvement is crucial to our efforts
to reduce
the risks teenagers face. We encourage you to take advantage of this
opportunity to pose any questions or concerns you may have to experts
in the
substance abuse prevention field and to encourage your children to
attend the
age appropriate workshops. Friends and neighbors are welcome. Watch the
Messenger for more information or contact Pastor Linda at lgalligan@burlpres.org.
Giants Fellowship Day Giants vs. Brewers - Sunday, Sept 19 at 1:05 p.m. Join
brothers and sisters from First Pres at Mount Last year’s The speaker for adults will be Scott Dudley, the
Senior Pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church of Bellevue, Washington, a suburb of The great part about being home is that those who
would be unable to attend
because of a time specific commitment (like coaching a soccer
team) won’t
need to miss the whole weekend. Fun activities for all ages are
being
planned – picnic, sock hop, bridge tournament! If you have ideas as to how we can make this the
“best retreat
ever” or want to join our committee please contact Pastor Confirmation
Class Begins October 10 Each year our Youth Department offers students the
opportunity to explore
what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through
the
confirmation experience. We call this an “experience”
because confirmation is
not just a class. By developing close friendships with other students
and an
adult Christian mentor, students will have the chance to engage in a
variety of
fun, surprising and life-changing learning opportunities that can help
them to
experience the presence of Jesus Christ like never before. At the end
of the
experience students decide if they are ready to join the
church. Each
high school student (confirmand) is
paired up with an adult member of the church (mentor) in order to
receive
guidance and encouragement throughout the confirmation process. The
confirmand
and mentor are assigned activities and projects to complete together
over the
six month course timeline. Mentors act as guides, teachers, shepherds,
friends
and models during the entire class experience. This program has proven
to be a
life-changing experience for these young people and mentors alike. The
spiritual growth and the friendships built in Christ attest to its
success. For more information or to sign up for this year’s
confirmation experience, please contact Bernie at bjantoc@burlpres.org,
or
Pastor Linda Sanford Galligan at lgalligan@burlpres.org
or call 342-9298 ext.
227. Deadline for registrations is Monday, September 27.

requests for another Gifts & Call Workshop, class is scheduled for
five
Wednesday nights this fall from 7-9 p.m., beginning October 13-November
10. This
workshop was developed to help believers determine and affirm the

opportunities
both in and outside the church. We hope you will join this next class

journey of discovery. Sign up today as
