Discipleship Reflection #3 - 2025 Candidates

Discipleship Reflection #3

Due: December 1, 2024
Dear Confirmation Candidates,

This is the third and final "survey" reflection about your faith that we'd like you to complete before Confirmation in January. Please answer the following questions honestly- we are not looking for the "right" answers here; we value hearing what you truly think and feel!

If some of these questions may look familiar- that's because we've repeated some of the questions that you answered for Discipleship Reflection #1 or #2. The goal of asking some of the same questions is just to see whether anything has changed since the last time you answered them.
