Who is God?

Check out the answers the Wednesday group came up with below! This Saturday, February 27th at 10 a.m. all are welcome to gather again for another blessed brain dump about all things confirmation.

We are particularly interested in self-propelled confirmation programs that may be more suitable for smaller confirmation classes and those with more complicated schedules. We will brain dump menu option ideas as phase 1 of a greater Independent Confirmation Project compilation.

There will be no expectation that the group gathering in February actually categorizes the ideas for future use... However, we hope a team of a few passionate folks will rise up from this time together to put the ideas together for future use in future months!
