Give your time in service to others.

You must complete 3 different forms of service to fulfill your confirmation requirement.

1. Service in the Community.
2. Service within your church.
3. Service for your family.

There is no hour requirement but we do ask you to try to make the Service substantial.

After completing each service, complete an essay with a description of:

1.  Your service;
2. Who benefited from it;
3. What you learned from it.

Please DO NOT wait until the last minute.
