Rooted in the past and growing into the future, the church must always be reformed in order to live out the love of Christ in an ever-changing world. We celebrate the good news of God’s grace, that Jesus Christ sets us free every day to do this life-transforming work, especially in the lives of our young people. Today we celebrate our confirmation students as they affirm their baptismal promises. Trusting in the freedom given to all of us in baptism, we give thanks to God for the reforming work that the Spirit continues to inspire us to today.
