A Confirmation Gift Made With Their Name (For a Teen Who Chose It)
Confirmation is the day a young person stands up and says yes to faith on their own terms. The gift for the day should meet that moment. Here is a short list of ones that do.
What makes a Confirmation gift stick
Teenagers are quick to see through generic. What they keep is the gift that used their name and said something the family hadn't already said. A short film in Jesus's voice that says the confirmand's name is one of those.
The films that fit
- A Message Written for Them - the family or the sponsor writes what they want Jesus to say to the confirmand on this day. Delivered in minutes, kept for years.
- A Prayer Film for Them - for a Catholic or Episcopal family who wants a short blessing over the confirmand's future by name.
A short reading for the celebration
The love letter from Jesus is a plain, one-page reading you can slip inside the card, with the confirmand's name written at the top.
