Make sure that there are “Rites
of Passage” aspects.
- Reserve some specific
activities to be used only as a part of Confirmation. This way
younger youth look forward to this time when they get to do these
things.
- These
can be fun things like a lock-in, ropes course, trips
- they
can be serious things like a service project or preparing a “youth
service” for church
- they
can be ritualistic things like the confirmation service itself.
Design your own, unique
service. (In
my NJ church the staff wrote unique prayers for each youth which
were given in the service.)
