Meet our Confirmation Students!
This week: John Miller!
Hello!  My name is John Miller.  I am 15 years old and in 10th grade.  My parents are Tom and Traci Miller and my siblings are Jake and Maggie Miller.  The sports I’m in are football, wrestling and baseball.  I want to be confirmed because I knew my family wants me to.
 
The true meaning behind
“The Twelve Days of Christmas”??
A popular theory that's made the internet rounds is that the lyrics to "The 12 Days of Christmas" are coded references to Christianity; the song was written to help Christians learn and pass on the tenets of their faith while avoiding persecution. Note: it doesn’t matter to me whether this is a secret code or just someone’s creative thinking, the idea is curious. ~Kathy
