Description
Gone are the days when Confirmation looked the same from community to community. When offering a Confirmation experience, educators must adapt to busy schedules, post-COVID anxiety, familial expectations, all while supporting youth in their emerging identities as they navigate the world around them. In an ever-evolving landscape of Faith Formation, context is key. Dr. Sarah Leer (she/her) will discuss practical options for creating new Confirmation experiences that are contextual and engaging. Participants will have opportunities to discuss barriers, ask questions, and explore creative solutions. Sarah create a space to learn together and invite participants to dream about how to creatively engage their youth on their journey of faith.
