Celebrate With Us

[porterross]

My daughter was confirmed this morning in the LC-MS. She took part in her first Sacrament of the Altar with her grandfather in attendance, which made it that much more special. We are all much relieved and blessed.

Thank you, everyone here for bearing with my frustration at the delays and especially DaRev who properly instructed her and brought her to correct, Scriptural understanding that she otherwise might not have known for several years. Mostly, thank you, Jesus!

Praying she holds firm to faith. And congratulations. I still remember my confirmation day like it was yesterday.

Thanks, DaRev, for helping PR out!!

Congratulations on her confirmation! I was confirmed about three years ago, and still remember it vividly. I wish I had approached the classes leading up to confirmation in a more serious manner, I don't think I brought as much as I could from them. It has been the years following confirmation that I really started to read the scriptures and get involved.

What a blessing, PR. Thanks for sharing that part of your life and your daughter's life with us. More reason to give thanks unto the Lord.

Thank you, Kyle. You're not alone in your approach to your catechism. I remember my own deplorable and immature attitude toward my instruction, but I am so very grateful my parents made me follow-through. Thankfully, God is more patient with us than we deserve.

Wonderful news, now to get active in daily bible study. We stay in faith through "The Word"

Isn't this the case with many?

My father who passed away at 83 and strongly came back to Christ in his 70s, was recalling fondly about his early instructions.

These stayed with him his whole life.

Thanks,

She's still my girl!!

 

[porterross]

Yep! She was so ready that she showed no fear or nervousness about being the only one being confirmed. She drank from the common cup and was very mature about it all. She's so awesome.

That's wonderful. I thought too, that our two children grew up a bit at the point of confirmation. Brought me a few tears of joy both times.

 

[Flipper]

Thank goodness she was able to get confirmed!

 

[RadMan]

That is just awesome. I look forward to when Jeremiah is confirmed. However, that is another six years from now. I definately have my work cut out for me.

Thank you, Lord! THat's wonderful news.

 

[porterross]

Thank you, everyone. She's very happy and I'm excited that there will be increased youth opportunities for her within the ELCE when we get to England and they are excited about our arrival. Now, she feels like she's part of the church community and her attitude is improving toward continued learning.
