Rite of Confirmation May 20

bonnie — Mon, 14 May 2012 22:22:10 +0000

On Sunday, May 20, at 9 am, six young adults from our community of faith will confirm their faith in the God the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. And we will proclaim again the promises of the Triune God we worship (three-in-one): Father in heaven, for Jesus’ sake, stir up in this young man/woman the gift of Holy Spirit: confirm their faith, guide their lives, empower them in their serving, give them patience in suffering, and bring them to everlasting life. Amen.

I’ve attached a picture of my confirmation. How different will it be this Sunday?
