Festive confirmation in Breitenstein: A blessing for the future!

On Sunday, May 25, 2025, a solemn confirmation will take place in the Georgskirche Breitenstein. For the four confirmation candidates, Julia Binder, Lea Ehmann, Nancy Ehrmann and Leana Huber, this will be an important step on their personal journey of faith. The ceremony will be led by Pastor Krusemarck and Vicar Graf. Best wishes for a wonderful celebration and God's blessing for the rest of your life are sent to everyone involved Krzbb.de reported.

Confirmation is an important part of the Christian tradition and marks a significant turning point in the lives of young people. As part of the preparation for confirmation, the participants deal intensively with central topics of faith. This includes understanding the Bible, the life and work of Jesus as well as the meaning of the creed, as well as the EKD highlights.

Preparation and content of confirmation work

In Weil, Breitenstein and Neuweiler the confirmation candidates are divided into two groups. Group 1, led by Pastor Hoinkis, had their confirmation on May 18, 2025 in St. Martin's Church in Weil. The second group, which will be confirmed in the Georgskirche Breitenstein, has dealt with problems and questions in life over a longer period of time. These include topics such as friendship, family and identity.

Preparation for confirmation is no longer referred to as “confirmation classes” but is instead referred to as “confirmation work”. This includes regular meetings over a two-year period, ideally starting in Year 7. Parents are also included in the process, which enhances the experience of communal spirituality and faith.

Ceremonial ceremony in St. George's Church

The confirmation service will not only underline the religious meaning, but also offers young people the opportunity to actively participate in community life. As part of the service, they perform various tasks, such as distributing hymn books or collecting the collection. This strengthens their connection to the church and supports them in developing their own opinions about the faith.

The upcoming confirmation in the Georgskirche Breitenstein embodies not only a day of celebration, but also a deep spiritual moment for the confirmands and their families. One aspect that should not be forgotten is the personal relationships that have been built. These help the young people to build and concretely experience their connection to the church and their faith.

The Evangelical Church Weil promotes the exchange between the confirmation candidates and the employees, which expands the variety of topics and stimulates dialogue about questions of faith.
