This form is provided for Confirmation candidates as a tool to reflect upon their community service experience in light of what they have learned about Christian service.
- Fill in your first name and last name.
- Use the comment box to describe a service experience you had this year as part of your Confirmation preparation.
- Answer the following question in the comment box: If you would have been wearing "Get Service" glasses like the guy in the video, what phrases do you think you would have seen on the people you served?
- Think quietly to yourself about those phrases you saw. Imagine that they represent the voice of Jesus calling out to you to care for other people. Jesus said, "Whatever you do for the least of my brothers and sister, you do for me." (Matthew 25:40) You don't need to write anything about this; we just want to encourage you to think about it.
