My Faith, My Life: The Ministry of Young People
We all know that confirmation is not an exit interview; it is an affirmation
of our love for God and a call to ministry. How do we honor and invite the ministry of young people in the church? Young people
are at a particularly important time of discernment -- faith, college, careers and relationships. Come learn a model that
helps young people identify their call to work in the world that proclaims God's dream for creation.
