During the Palm Sunday service at Holy Covenant United Church of Christ, Pastor Chris offered a heartfelt overview of the confirmation journey for the 2025 confirmands. He spoke about the significance of confirmation within the United Church of Christ—not as a requirement, but as a meaningful opportunity for young people to affirm their baptism, claim their faith as their own, and publicly commit to a life of spiritual growth and service within the church community. Pastor Chris reflected on the unique paths each confirmand took throughout their time of study, discussion, and discernment, highlighting the courage and authenticity they brought to the process. He emphasized that the confirmation ceremony is both a celebration and a covenant—a sacred moment where the entire congregation joins in support, bearing witness to the unfolding of faith in the lives of these emerging leaders.
