On this Sunday following our service of confirmation, each of the recently-confirmed members recited a Biblical passage that they had memorized over the course of the year. Kate’s sermon charged us all to follow our students’ example: “Explore your faith. Don’t let faith be just a creed that you mutter on Sunday. Keep learning. Keep challenging your clergy with interesting questions. Ask your friends and family about their faith. And if you find a question you can’t answer, keep looking…Be adults in your faith, like our confirmation students. Express your hopes and your fears and your dreams and everything that’s important to you, and you will find God sharing them with you—and with God, all things are possible. The future is bright.”
