Ashton, Daniel, Evan, and Jonathyn were asked to write a paragraph about their confirmation experience and why they chose to be confirmed.

It means a great deal to my family that I get confirmed and I am glad I have done it. After this process, I feel like I have a closer relationship with God and I look forward to where it will take me. I have been going to this church since I was a baby and feel like it is an accepting environment. I chose Mr. Hartz as my mentor because he is always encouraging me and supporting me to go to summer camp. - Ashton

The confirmation experience was fun. I got to learn about God. I also walked around the church and learned more about the church. I chose to get confirmed to become a member of the church. My mom is a member and that motivates me and I also wanted to learn more about God. I am thankful for having a mentor (Mrs. Weiss) to guide me through the Bible. - Daniel

I am choosing to be confirmed because I wish to continue a long legacy in my family of meaningful membership in the Methodist Church. God has had a deep impact on my life and I have enjoyed this experience to become closer to Him. It has been a long process due to scheduling and Covid and I am excited to make this milestone. I was very happy to work with Beth (mentor) on this journey and know she will continue to be an important person in my spiritual life. - Evan

My confirmation experience was good, just like how God said everything was good in the first days of creation. I chose to be confirmed for the church, for worship, for my family, and others. The church is someplace I want to be when worshiping and connecting with God and everything He has to offer. My family and mentor (Mr. DeVincenzo) were here when I needed them and encouraged me the most throughout my journey. Being confirmed is a gift and something to appreciate more. - Jonathyn
