After two grueling years of studying the Bible and the Catechism, Rachel was confirmed at the end of June.
She and four other confirmands read the Bible and took part in the Catechism memory program. In order to be confirmed, depending on their age, they must complete the program to a certain level.
They listened intently to the sermon. If you'd like to hear it you can listen here, too!
Now it's confirmation time!
After they were confirmed these confirmands received communion for the first time alongside their classmates.
I'm so proud of the kids. They worked hard and their minds were definitely like sponges.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Right after church they took off for the mountains and the annual Catechism Retreat! So much for moving and unpacking. There's no rest for the wicked. We moved, and three days later the older children were off to camp. They had a blast only to return for one day to do laundry. Then we left again.
