Youth Christian Formation – Grades 6-12
Christian Formation classes for youth in grades 6-12 will resume on Sunday, January 7, 2024 at 9:00 AM upstairs in the Christian education building. The curriculum for the class will be Real and Relevant.  This program is lectionary based and makes use of movie clips to foster discussion. Real and Relevant not only provides basic scripture readings, but applications and skills that the students can apply to their daily lives. 

Each week Chris Abbott will continue to communicate with both the parents and youth via email and text to give everyone a preview of what to expect in that week’s lesson.  Additional thanks go to Frank D’Antuono, Isobel Gotschall and Charlie Yates who help satisfy the requirements for Safeguarding God’s Children and make the class possible.
           
As always, please contact Chris Abbott with your questions or concerns.  It is an honor and a pleasure for us to continue to watch the youth of St. Mark’s grow and mature.  Parents are welcome to join our class at any time.  See you on January 7, 2024.
