Several
of the youth of our parish are in their sixth month of preparation for
Confirmation. So far, they have delved into the Bible, examined the Lord’s
Prayer, learned about the history of the Episcopal Church and gone on a great
church tour of St. Andrew’s.
What
I have learned about our Confirmands is that they are a group of youth who are
smart, open to learning new things and not afraid to ask questions. All that is
great, because I strongly agree with something I saw on an old Church Ad
Project poster long ago: “Jesus died to take away your sins; not your mind.”
As
the completion of their Confirmation preparation approaches, please pray for:
Grace Duregger, Tucker Jones, Rachel Klinger, Caitlin Knapp, Alex Rous, Vanessa
Smock, Cora Walsh and Libby Wharton.
The
Confirmation service will be held on Ascension Day, Thursday, May 30 at 6:30 PM
at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Portsmouth.
Please plan to come and support our confirmands.
The
Rev. Lorna H. Williams
Associate
Rector for Children and Youth
