This class is geared towards those seeking deeper commitment and discernment within their lives of faith and those wishing to prepare for the rite of Confirmation. While the classes do not commit one to Confirmation, they will prepare all for the Bishop’s visit when the rite will be celebrated.
Nursery care will be available. To register and request nursery care or more information, please contact Julie Denman at 272.7425 ext. 15 or julie [at] gracestlukes [dot] org. Location: TBA
Common Questions about Confirmation
What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is a sacrament of the church and is an adult profession of one’s faith. While it is often undertaken separately from the sacrament of Holy Baptism, Confirmation actually completes the baptismal rite and involves a public affirmation of faith and the laying on of hands by a Bishop.
What’s involved?
Join us as we delve into all things fundamental to the faith! Over the course of five weeks, we’ll discuss everything from basic Christianity to Episcopal worship and the sacraments, from church history to polity and structure. We’ll consider the importance of the Bible and the Prayer Book in our common lives, as well as take a spiritual inventory to discern our gifts for ministry. We’ll consider the Baptismal Covenant and how we are all called to Christian action and mission.
Who can attend?
The class is open to ALL—those who want to receive the sacrament of Confirmation; those wishing to be Received into the Church (already Confirmed in another branch of the Christian Church); candidates for Reaffirmation; those who want a refresher course; and to seekers and those who simply want to learn more about the Christian faith and the Episcopal way.
