Confirmation Reflection

After being a part of this year’s confirmation class and a member of Christ & Holy Trinity since 2005, I have realized what it is really like to be an Episcopalian. My family and I have been members of Christ & Holy Trinity since I was in preschool. We attended church services, I enrolled in the preschool, Sunday school, took part in several Christmas pageants, and sang in the children’s choir for six years. This church has been a major part of my life and I have many fond memories here since I was little.

Confirmation class has changed my views on what church really is and what my responsibility is as a member of it. I realize that church is not just an obligation on Sunday mornings and sometimes it is not all about the fun social gatherings and food, it’s a commitment of faith. Confirmation has opened new doors for me. I have met people I

We would prepare and serve food for homeless people. This was an impactful and eye opening experience for me. The people we served were so grateful and even though they did not have much, they had their faith. This experience ties into Psalm 23 because it exemplifies the message that the Lord loves and cares for all his people; followers of Christ should help other followers. I think God means for us all to help one another so we can all progress and become closer to Him.

I would like to thank everyone who has helped guide me and influence me in my journey of faith as an Episcopalian. I would especially like to thank my mentor, Mrs. Finan, my parents, Collin, Kate, Marcella, and Whitney. Thank you all for your guidance and support throughout my Confirmation. I plan to continue to worship as a new member of the Church and trust in God’s will. I’d like to close with a quote from Psalm 23, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life
