Inclement Weather Policy
Easter Church will cancel all youth activities for the day whenever ISD #196 (Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan) cancels school, closes early, or cancels evening activities on that day. If church programs are in session and the weather makes driving difficult, please use your best judgment to decide if you feel it is safe for you to travel to church. If your child will not be attending confirmation or handbell choirs, please contact his/her mentor or choir director at home.

We Expect...

* Families to worship regularly, and parents to support their child's faith development in the home.

* Parents to model the Christian faith for their children to the best of their ability.

* Students to work up to their God-given ability, and to be discerning of their spiritual gifts in how they can "grow in faith and carry on the work of Jesus Christ."

* Attend class sessions and all retreats. If conflicts with the confirmation program arise, the pastoral staff and mentors need to be informed.
