Faith Fold

9th Grade confirmation students make a faith fold in the fall before their confirmation which occurs the last Sunday in October on Reformation Sunday. 

What’s a faith fold?

Think of a science fair display constructed of corrugated cardboard, about a yard high with three panels on it.  On its three sections, students express important elements of their faith. Students pick a theme for their faith-fold, identify topics that have helped them form their faith foundation, develop and write stories on each of the topics, create their presentation on the faith-fold, and then spend time learning how to talk about those faith topics. The following items, which we will work on during class and at home, are to be included:

• Title and Confirmand’s name
• Confirmation Bible Verse chosen by student
• Faith Web
• I believe Faith Statement 
• Baptism (pictures, objects, candle, etc.)
• Favorite Bible Stories (3 to 5)
• Favorite Bible Characters  (3 to 5)

Below are examples of past faith folds:
