Items related to what we discussed in class and/or were assigned in the reading can be found below. You can look them up in your copy of 100 Things Every Child Should Know Before Confirmation.
Parents are encouraged to read and discuss the material with their child(ren) over the course of each month. This may be a review of material and ideas they already know or may serve as an introduction to a new concept. Bear in mind that the book is not meant to tell us "here's what to say to your child about X or Y Biblical topic", but rather to summarize a concept and help kickstart a conversation. Each of the "100 Things" is a foundational concept for us to build on in our confirmation class next year. If you are looking for more information on a particular topic or have questions, please contact Jana.
