Our four 2019 confirmands participated in a retreat in Galveston where they experienced God in many different ways! As part of the agenda, each experienced personal devotion time, made communion bread, started their very first faith statement, selected their Bible verse, experienced communion on the beach, and enjoyed Christian fellowship!
