Big Projects
Your LETTER TO THE BISHOP detailing why you want to be confirmed is DUE at the retreat. Please start working on them.
Everyone is catching up on community service hours…PLEASE CONTINUE logging them. Email me or text me if you are having challenges with the form. We will update your personal page with how many hours you have by the end of the weekend.
You should know who you want your Confirmation Saint to be. You need to include that in your Letter to the Bishop. There will also be a Saint Project due on 21 January.
Homework for 10 Dec
Watch the 6 Matthew Kelley Videos on the Holy Spirit Season 8. Watch two of them with your parents.
Ask your parents who the Holy Spirit is and why is He important. Write the answer down in your Journals.
Write down 2 questions or thoughts regarding the lesson in your journal (Ideas/prompts: things you didn't know; “I agree with this bc”; “I disagree with this because”; “why is it that?”; conversations you had with your parents regarding the lesson, etc). Be prepared to share this with your small group.
Keep Memorizing everything found here: Mandatory Knowledge Items Link…THIS WILL BE KEY TO WINNING POINTS ON THE RETREAT!!
