We are fortunate to have these young people among us and celebrate their confirmations of faith! We thank God for them, their families, their teachers, and all others who have encouraged them in their faith journeys. Our prayer for them is that they will be blessed as they each affirm their baptism and that they will be encouraged to continue to grow in faith.
