This is a continuation of my previous post, listing the essays written by the recent confirmands at the church where my husband is serving as an interim pastor.
Confirmation Verse
Lord God, remember me and strengthen me. Judges 18:28
“I learned the meaning behind my baptism, the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer and the Apostles’ Creed. I have grown by learning and deepening my knowledge of the Lord and His Word. I know that my sins will be forgiven because Jesus died on the cross for me.
Being confirmed to me means that I am making the choice of getting closer with God and building a stronger bond with God Himself or Jesus. I am recognized as an adult within my faith and it makes my family happy.
I will continue to grow in my faith by coming to church. I will pray after and before bedtime or early in the morning. And that I will never to anything to hurt God by saying His name in vain. I will always be nice and kind to others around me and let them have a chance. I will also make sure I will serve church and the youth group. I will continue to bring my friends to church so they too can learn about God.”
