Confirmation Sunday | April 26th, 2026

It was a beautiful day to confirm 8 students (and baptize 3)! These young people have spent the year in study, prayer, and community as they prepared to declare that their faith is their own.

Confirmation does not mean we have it all figured out, but that we are committed to this faith and this faith community.

Congratulations to these wonderful young people! ❤

A Meditation for Silent Saturday or Holy Saturday
by Cole Arthur Riley, from Black Liturgies.

"Holy Saturday may be the most liminal space in the Christian liturgical cycle. Passion has become pathos. The death of Jesus stupefies, but the breaking dawn has not dispelled the waking dream..." - Dr. Wilda C. Gafney

God of the liminal,
When we take account of the tragedies of the world, it is difficult to believe there is a powerful and loving God. Are you really with us? Why won't you intervene to bring justice and healing now? We trust that you are patient with these doubts. A God who is not threatened by our unbelief but draws near to us in it. Help us toward an understanding of you that includes tension and mystery. Let us be empathetic with our souls, which have endured so much suffering and have a right to ask deep questions of our Maker. But as we do, let us find an empathy for You - a God who is no stranger to suffering but endures all things with us, that we might find full liberation. Let our doubts lead us into deeper intimacy with the divine, as we tell the truth of the questions that plague us. Amen.

Breathe Prayer:
INHALE: God, why are you silent?
EXHALE: I'll hold hope as I wait.
INHALE: I won't be rushed from grieving.
EXHALE: I can rest in this silence.
