► Confirmation Service
On Sunday the 4th of November 2012, parents and large congregation of our church participated in the confirmation service of six confirmands, who joined the church membership on the occasion of All Saints Sunday.
The confirmands are: Maya Asfour, Nadia Asfour, Mounir Moadieh, Ramzi Katoul, Lara Sabra, and Nour bou Malham.
The confirmation-candidates had attended earlier (past spring-summer period) a series of special classes, where they had the chance to reflect on the meaning of Christian faith and studied different topics, such as baptism, church creeds, communion and other important themes of the Christian faith.
Confirmation refers to the decision a person makes in response to God’s grace, with intentional commitment and public affirmation of one’s baptismal vows before the congregation. Confirmation is finally endorsed through the participation of the confirmands in the communion service, through which they claim full membership of their church.
May God lead the new members of our church in their paths of life to be good, loving and caring Christians in their church and society.
