I helped confirm thirty-eight 10th graders today. The whole church confirms for them that God has given them the gift of faith and a specific gift to use as they live out that faith for the sake of the world. One of the readings for the day reminded them that God has created them not to conform to the powers that be, but God is in the process of transforming them through the renewal of their minds. We asked the young people to confess their faith in God, knowing all along that confession is God’s gift. It was a privilege to be with them today after spending most of the last three years watching them grow into men and women. May God keep God’s promise and bless their lives daily.
It was a real privilege to be invited back for this special occasion. It was good to see people who were and still are important in our lives. We thank Pastor Grow and the confirmation class for this opportunity.
