Affirmation of Baptism

Affirmation of Baptism, October 29, Reformation Sunday: This year, four young people will affirm the promises made at their baptisms: Elaina Bushkofsky, Tayton Peters, Blake Thielsen, and Sierra Thielsen. We rejoice with them as they take this next step in their faith journey.
 
Affirmation of Baptism? What is that? A note from Pastor Ramona: Affirmation of Baptism is another term for the Confirmation service. I prefer "Affirmation of Baptism" to "Confirmation" for two reasons: one, I find it easier to talk about confirmation class and the Affirmation of Baptism service, than to have to designate between confirmation class and the confirmation service; two, Affirmation of Baptism is exactly what the young people will be doing: affirming for themselves the promises their parents and the congregation made for them at their baptisms.
