Welcome to our Confirmation experience, "Journeying With Jesus 2014-15!" It is a delight to have each of you--and all of us--on "the Way." In the gospels, Jesus meets each of his disciples where they are, engages them for who they are, and offers them an invitation: "Follow me." In doing so, he beckons them to a way of life together that will reveal God's presence and God's Reign of Love in the very midst of their lives.
A disciple is a "learner." It becomes the joy of Jesus' disciples to learn the ways of Jesus by heart and to proclaim the good news of God's love for all people. Today, you are such disciples.
Jan Richardson's beautiful artwork, "The Best Supper," is an image that adorns the cover of your Confirmation notebook. We hope that it will be a constant reminder of your place at Jesus' table, and the role that you have in realizing the fullness of life God intends for the world that God so loves.
In this picture I feel like everyone is a disciple and they are praising God. Also I noticed that everyone there is different types of people. Some are older some younger, some are boys and some are girls, and there is a cat too.
