Similar to confirmation, we offer The Walk to all 9th through 12th graders. It’s an opportunity for youth to learn about God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, the Church, and the Bible. The Walk takes place February through April. This is a class meant for those who have been following God for days, weeks, months, or years and want to take the next step to confirm and profess their faith to oneself and others. Students go through a journey with large group classes, one on one meetings with a mentor, a Passover experience, and ending with a Walk Sunday celebration.
Students will request their top three mentor picks by December 4th, and then the Junkyard staff will discern the best pairings and inform students of their paired mentor by December 18th. Once that is done, students will kick off the walk with an informational meeting on February 2nd from 11:45am to 1:00pm which will include mentee, mentor, and parents.
After that, students will start meeting regularly with their mentor and having group classes. The dates for group classes are Sundays, February 16th, March 2nd, March 30th, April 13th, and April 27th. Class times are 11:45am to 1:15pm at the Ridge. The Passover experience will be on Thursday, April 17th from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Walk Sunday will be on May 4th. If there are any questions about this process, please contact Todd Stiles.
