We are delighted to present a new course for Confirmation Class based on the Bible and the catechism section of the Anglican Prayer Book
This confirmation course, “Enjoying Creation and Taking Care of It,”
teaches young people that the world is God’s creation and is sacred. It is
built around five main sessions: Creation, Sin, Salvation (Repentance),
Mission and Ministry, and Practical Action.
The course begins by helping candidates understand that God created
everything and declared it good, and that human beings are part of
creation, called to live in harmony with it. It then explores how sin has
damaged our relationship with God, one another, and the environment,
highlighting human responsibility for harm done to creation.
The course moves on to salvation through Jesus Christ, teaching that
repentance is not only saying sorry but turning back to God and living
differently, helping to restore what has been broken. It then emphasises
that caring for creation is part of the Church’s mission, rooted in the call
to love God and neighbour and to safeguard the earth.
Finally, learners are guided to take practical action by planning and
carrying out a project that cares for creation in their local context.
Overall, the course forms candidates to see themselves as part of God’s
creation, redeemed by Christ, and called into active responsibility for the
care and restoration of the world.
