DEVELOPING YOUR SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

About the Book

Developing Your Spiritual Understanding (DYSU) is a confirmation lesson focusing on: increasing spiritual awareness; teaching youth how to make sound Christian decisions; and encouraging active participation in the church, school, community and the world. While spiritual development is personal, it is fostered through educating individuals about prayer, worship and service. It is imperative for youth in the 21st century to become empowered with a renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem. This can only be accomplished when given the right tools to make spiritual life choices. We welcome each youth to take this confirmation journey in developing their spiritual understanding..
