We walk by faith and not by sight. The world around us screams messages of temptation, hate, and despair. Our God whispers peace, love, and joy. We celebrated the vision of faith shared by two young members of our congregation on this Confirmation Sunday.
On this special Sunday we have the chance to hear two young men confess their faith and pledge their lives to their Lord. We praise God for his grace in their lives.
There are different stages in life. This time of year it is common for families to celebrate completing one of those stages. Maybe it’s graduating from high school or completing a course of training. This Sunday we offered thanks to God for all those who are celebrating accomplishments.
It might seem like a good idea to go for the off brand. Why not save a little money? With some things, like the Gospel of Jesus, we should accept no substitute.
On confirmation Sunday a son or daughter of the congregation has the opportunity to confess his or her faith publicly and vow to remain faithful to Jesus. This is Luke Guldberg’s confirmation creed.
Being a part of God’s family may be something that we take for granted. Watch and see how you are part of God’s family.
