The word confirm means “to strengthen the value or validity of something.” Taking this definition, then, confirmation should not be a process offered to our youth but to everyone in the church. And it shouldn’t be a once-in-a-lifetime event since our understanding of our relationship with God, the church and each other changes over time.
I am going to try something out. Between the months of August and December, I am going to use my sermons to address issues that would normally come up in confirmation classes. Each sermon will be an opportunity for all of us to ‘strengthen the value or validity of these issues for each of us. For those who care in the Confirmation Process, each sermon will be accompanied by a questionnaire which will be required to be returned to me. For anyone hearing the sermon, these sheets will be available (whether at church or through out website). I encourage everyone to use these sheets to open a dialogue to discuss these issues.
