Deep River Congregational Church offers active and insightful learning opportunities for youth and people of all ages to explore their faith journey.
Sunday School
Sundays 10:00am – Ages: Birth–Grade 8
Our Sunday School overflows with energy and enthusiasm as children learn through activities that teach the Bible, Christian faith, and how spiritual lessons apply to their daily lives. Sunday School starts in 10am worship, then moves to freshly updated classrooms after the Children’s Sermon. Outdoor activities may be planned when the weather is nice. Contact Sybil Higgins.
Teen & Adult Learning Opportunities
Teen Issues
Meets Sundays from 10-11am in the relaxing upper room to plan mission projects and discuss issues facing today’s youth. For grades 9-12. Contact Chelsea Chiappa Ehmke.
Adult Bible Study
Adult Bible Study is led by Pastor Tim throughout the year. View our calendar to see when the adult bible study meets. We hope you will join us!
Confirmation
Open to individuals in 9th grade and above, as well as older adults
Confirmation prepares young and older adults for membership in the Church. Confirmation completes the process which, for many, began when they were baptized. It gives young adults the opportunity to accept for themselves the promises their parents made for them at baptism. Classes start in September and Confirmands may pick a mentor of their choice. View our calendar for the next Confirmation class schedule.
Contacts: Rev. Timothy Haut, Rev. Dr. Cheryl Caronna, Sybil Higgins, Chelsea Chiappa Ehmke
Preparing Your Faith Statement
Every Confirmand is asked to prepare a Faith Statement as a culmination of their Confirmation experience. A Faith Statement is an expression of what faith means to you.
Take time to plan and work on your Faith Statement so it is meaningful to you. Think of your hobbies or interests, and work with your mentor to prepare your presentation. You will have the opportunity to present your Faith Statement at the Confirmation luncheon and they will be on display for Confirmation Sunday.
Creative ideas for your Faith Statement:
- Poem
- Letter
- Painting
- Shadow box
- Family collage
- PowerPoint
- Musical presentation
- Song or Dance
- Lyrical or Instrumental composition
