Confirmation Sunday

It’s that time of year again, where a number of our teenagers move into a new chapter in their faith journey. This Sunday, October 25th, nine students will affirm their faith during worship. These nine spent the past two years in our confirmation program, attending retreats, gathering on Wednesday nights, and forming friendships in our congregation. Each of them is unique, and each understands their faith in different ways. As many Christians traditionally do, they have all selected a verse from the Bible that speaks to them at this moment in their lives. Whether you know them or not, I am sure you will get a small sense of who they are based on the scripture they have chosen. Take some time to read these verses, and join me in both celebrating and praying for these young people of faith.

Whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.
