The Rite of ConfirmationToday we celebrate 99 youth who affirm their baptismal promises as disciples of Jesus Christ. These
young people have completed more than three years of learning and growing in their faith, deepening their relationship with God, learning to serve like Jesus, and connecting through Christian friendship during weekly small groups, large group sessions, retreats, and summer camp.
Confirmation is part of our Skipping Stones ministry, celebrating six significant moments in the journey of life and faith starting with baptism and continuing through high school graduation. Just as stones skip across water creating ripples at various points, our young people experience God’s grace breaking into their lives at different times and places. We mark, celebrate, and bless our children during worship to remind them they are God’s beloved child and to fulfill the congregation’s promise made at each baptism to support and encourage our children and their families in the life of faith.
The Confirmation program culminates in 9th grade, where youth explore the five promises made at Confirmation, as well as how their spiritual gifts can be used to serve others. Youth also create handmade stoles with images and symbols to represent their personal interests, gifts, talents, and faith journey. On Saturday morning, families and friends gathered for a meal in the Youth and Sports Center and a Confirmation Celebration Service in the Sanctuary. Youth recited personal Bible verses and small group leaders shared about their groups’ experiences. Parents and guardians lit affirmation candles, given to their children to represent the passing on of faith as youth make faith their own. Youth were gifted with an engraved skipping stone that reads “I believe … John 11:27.”
Once confirmed, youth become adult members of the congregation with the expectation they will continue their involvement in our faith community, seek ways to use their spiritual gifts in the church and the community, and continue to dedicate their lives to serving Christ in word and deed.
