Bible Reading:

Opening Prayer:
 
Review, Link & Introduce:
 
Last week we discussed how we are called and chosen by God, but because we have free will we have are responsible for how we respond to that call. We are not puppets on the end of strings that God controls.  We must freely choose to follow him.  We also discussed how the sacrament of Confirmation is not the end of something, but the beginning of an incredible new phase in your faith journey.
 
This week we are being introduced to Angels & Demons and the "Last Things", Death, & Judgment.

Review, Link & Introduce: 

In the last class we learned about salvation and the free and undeserving Grace God gives us to be able to respond to his call to become children of God.

This week we will learn about the sacrament of Confirmation you will be receiving in April and how that sacrament helps us to more confidently respond to God's call to serve him and his Church.
