Our December Purpose session was a really nice opportunity to touch base on various parts of our preparation for Confirmation. As we looked deeper into the sacraments of initiation, we tied together everything we have learned so far in the context of this upcoming sacrament. It was a wonderful day together as the candidates continued to develop connections within our new family of faith.

Our Bible Adventure included finding verses in the Bible referring to Confirmation from Acts of the Apostles, and letters to the Romans and Ephesians. This was followed with a complete review of everything we have learned so far, review of the parts of the Mass, and a specific focus on the LIturgy of the Eucharist. We reviewed the gifts of the Holy Spirit and talked within our groups about how we encounter them in our lives. The Holy Spirit continues to help us grow in faith and friendship as we continue our journey together.
