Confirmation Vs Discipleship
In the past we have had big confirmation services but it seams to be a graduation so we will be moving away from the big graduation type service to a smaller but more meaningful service that would happen on any Communion Sunday when a young person feels they are spiritually mature and ready to get confirmed. This gives the young person the responsibility for his or her own Christian walk in the ongoing process of discipleship.
I do believe in the great commission that we are called to make disciples and this for me will have a greater retention rate than the way we have been doing confirmation.
