Bay Bryan
	"Hello, my name is Bay Bryan. I am 12 years old and in 6th grade. I like to play soccer and build models. What I have learned is the prayer, "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you, The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26.

Bradley Clark
	"My name is Bradley T. Clark. I am 12 years old and in 6th grade. My hobbies include my family and friends and sports. I am ready to be confirmed. I believe fully in my faith. What I have learned this year: I have learned many things from class including how to proclaim the name. It is not enough for just me to believe in God, I need to tell the world all about God. But the most important thing I have learned is how to believe in God completely. I am a Christian."

Catherine Cox
	"Hello, my name is Catherine Cox and I am 12 years old. I am a 6th grader. My mother, Susan, my father, Faris, and my brother, Griffin make up my loving family. The sports that I enjoy playing the most are soccer and basketball. What I have learned this year that was really touching was September 11. This was touching because I think that it brought the world closer together and made the Confirmation really see the world aside. This ties into Confirmation because of the problems in the world today."

Griffen Cox
	"Hi, I am Griffin Cox. I am 13 years old and I am in 7th grade. I have a little sister named Catherine. My favorite sports are hockey and soccer. I also snowboard. This year in Confirmation I leaned to keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words. This connects with Confirmation because we learned to help each other and be positive rather than negative and I try to be positive as much as I can. As I become a member I will help people be just as positive as Jesus was."

Clint Crews
	"My name is Clint Crews. I am 11 years old and in the 6th grade. My family is very loving and generous. Those people that are loving are my Mom, Laura, my Step-dad, Larry, and my sister, Alyssa, and are a very big part of my life. The sports I like the most are baseball and basketball. The most touching (thing) was that God died for our sin. We believe Jesus and God and we should teach other people or let others know about Jesus. I am ready to be confirmed."

Robert Gillette
	"My name is Robert Gillette. (Please don't call me Robert if you want to live, everyone calls me Robin.) I am 12 years old. My birthday is May 5th, (the same day of Confirmation) that means I'll be 13 on the day of Confirmation. I was born at 7 11, just kidding, that's 7:11 am. Some of you may know my mom, Denise, my dad, David, and my little brother, Logan. I am obsessed with sailing. At sailing camp I had trouble with my flying types (that's when the boom comes across the bat really hard and fast). So bad that people were afraid to sail with me. - I was amazed (in Confirmation) to discover all the different denominations, and it was interesting to find out how they are different and about their different interpretations of the Bible."

Rachael Hoovler
	"My name is Rachel Hoovler. I am 11 years old and I am in the 6th grade. My family is my Mom and my Dad or Michele and Matt Hoovler. I am an only child and I have 8 cousins. I live to play volleyball and basketball. I also like to draw, read, and play the piano. Something that I learned this year that was very touching was that Jesus died for us. I think that it is very special because it makes me feel good that somebody loved me or the world that much. This has helped me believe in Jesus even more."

Katrianna Kleinschmidt
	"Hello, my name is Katrianna Kleinschmidt and I am 11 years old. My birthday is May 29. I am a 6th grader. My family is my Mom, Debra; my Dad, Del; my Step-mom, Liz; and my twin brother, Skyler. I play on a competitive soccer team, "Ice." I love to play soccer and many other sports. What I have learned was how to be a member of the church. You have to decide for yourself. You have to decide to claim the name for ourselves, and to believe in God - and to tell others that you do believe in God."

Skyler Kleinschmidt
	"My name is Skyler Kleinschmidt. My birthday is May 29, and I'm 11 right now. I go to 6th grade. My Mom is Debra, my Dad is Del, and my Step mom is Liz. Katrianna is my sister. I like soccer, collecting things/collector items, and I like electronics (and electronic games). A thing I learned has helped me to understand in confirmation class to appreciate people for who they are. This will probably help me make friends in the future."

Olivia Tracy
	"Hi! My name is Olivia Tracy! I am eleven years old and in sixth grade. The people in my family you would know are my grandparents, Robert E. and Erlene M. Hogan, my parents, Schott and Annette Tracy, and my brother, Griffen. I am a second-generation confirmand in this church. I play soccer, softball, basketball, sing in choir, am active in school and play the clarinet. I listen to musicals on my CD player, and my bother and I do plays and puppet shows for our friends and family. The one strongest thing that I learned during Confirmation is that we should not just know that we believe in God, we should tell others that we believe in God and help other people see and believe in the work of God."
