This important component to the I Will with God’s Help confirmation program is a simple yet effective guide for confirmation mentors, offering suggested scripture readings, discussion questions/topics and prayers for time spent with confirmation students.
This Episcopal confirmation encourages youth and adults to enter into a uniquely Episcopal – yet profoundly Christian – faith journey. The easily adaptable format works for a traditional 6-12-week program, at a contemporary Confirmation retreat or conference, or as a sacramental supplement to other larger programs.
I Will with God’s Help is built entirely on the Baptismal Covenant from The Book of Common Prayer and offers youth and adults as solid reflection of Episcopal heritage and belief, together with the riches of Episcopal liturgy and prayers.
Linda W. Nichols has been a lay professional for almost three decades in family, program and resource sized congregations. She received a Master’s in Christian Education in 1981 from Scarritt College, at the time associated with Vanderbilt School of Theology in Nashville. Linda is a member of the National Association for Episcopal Christian Education Directors and represented Province III on the Episcopal Council for Christian Education. As the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey’s Youth Director she was one of the original trainers for the Journey to Adulthood program and a writer for the Episcopal Curriculum for Younger Youth, as well as having worked with the Catechumenal Process while on staff at the Episcopal Church Center in New York City. All this experience speaks volumes for her love for mentors which she recognizes as invaluable to the confirmation process.
