Confirmation is this Sunday. I know we always try to say that this is not anything like a graduation ceremony, as in "you are not done with your Christian education and so on."
But could it be like Matriculation? I was at Hamline for my daughter, Sara's, matriculation.
Maybe that's not a bad analogy: It's signing, enrolling, entering into a school. Maybe confirmation class was more like the application process. Some entrance requirements were met (with grace usually) and admission work has been completed; enough to now enroll in the the next level of education and learning. Matriculation does mark a beginning, leading into more,....into a community. ...to learn and grow and explore. Blessings as you go on in the discipleship school of Christ!
What do you think? Comments welcome.

I like it. It gives the feeling that "hey, you're not done with this growing in Christ thing, and truthfully, (perhaps hopefully) you won't ever be done".
