Confirmation Module #1, Make-Up Information and Resources
We were sorry to miss you at our first Confirmation module. At this module, we discussed four topics – Sin and the Fall, Salvation History, the Mission of Jesus, and the Nicene Creed. This website includes resources mentioned on your make-up packet (if you don't have a make-up packet, you need to get one from Mr. Steven) and mirrors the activities and topics we discussed as a group. Each component consists of a reading and/or videos as well as a written assignment. All the videos can be found below. Please watch the videos and the complete the written assignments, and then submit the written assignments to Mr. Steven when you are done.
Component 1 – Sin and the Fall
Video #1 - Watch Decision Point Session 5 Intro, “Unexpected Gifts” (just the Session 5 intro... not the whole session)

Written Assignment – Confirmation Module #1, Component 1 Reflection Sheet – ‘Sin and The Fall’

Written Assignment – Jesus Describes His Mission in the Gospels, Lectio Divino
Read through the four readings on the front of the sheet entitled “Jesus Describes His Mission in the Gospels.” Then, flip the page over and read through the four steps of Lectio Divino, or “Divine Reading.” Take 15 minutes and prayerfully spend time going through the steps with one of the readings. This is a prayerful, meditative activity – we recommend finding a quiet space to think, pray, and reflect. After you are done, answer the questions on either the “Lectio Divina: The Full Process” side or the “Main Events and Me” side of attached page.
Component 4 – The Holy Spirit and the Nicene Creed
Video #1 - Watch Decision Point 8.1, “Who is the Holy Spirit” (make sure to scroll down to video 8.1)
Video #2 - Watch VCat video, “The Creed”
Written Assignment – I Believe…. Creed Writing
Reflect on the videos you watched and the questions at the top of the sheet. Use those questions to compose your own, personal creed. This is a reflective activity, so take time to think about what you truly believe, and what beliefs shape you as a person. Because this activity is so personal, you do not need to submit this assignment to Mr. Steven - please don’t skip it, but you merely need to tell him you completed it in order to count. We will use the honor system for this assignment.
